How we look after doors in Yateley
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
Typical scopes of work
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
