What our engineers check and fix
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- 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.
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.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
