- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
