How we look after doors in Airdrie
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
Fire shutter law in Scotland
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Airdrie, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
How the work is organised
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Frequently asked questions
Do you test shutters in Airdrie outside working hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours visits are available because testing closes the opening. We agree the timing and confirm any out-of-hours price in the quote.
What happens if a fire shutter in Airdrie fails its test?
We tell you on the day, explain the cause and the risk, and quote any repair. Your fire risk assessor should know about a shutter that is out of service until it is fixed.
How often should fire shutters in Airdrie be tested?
Follow the manufacturer and your fire risk assessment. A full service with closure test at least annually is common practice, with six-monthly visits on busy sites or shutters used daily.
