- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.

Jobs we can carry out
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
