What our engineers check and fix
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
