How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.

Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.

Features to choose from

  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Colchester?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Colchester. We also cover nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.

Will a fire shutter close in a power cut?

Fire shutters are designed to close on loss of power or on a fire signal, usually by gravity with a governed speed, so they fail safe.

How often should a fire shutter be tested?

Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, so they must be kept in working order. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for a drop test and service at least once a year, and more often where they are used heavily.

Do you certify fire shutters?

The fire rating belongs to the manufacturer's tested product. We supply certified shutters with their documentation and install them to the manufacturer's instructions.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
