What the visit covers in Cumbernauld
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
What this work can involve
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- 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.
