How we look after doors in Gosport
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
