How we look after doors in Kinross
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
What this work can involve
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Kinross?
The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Keeping your site running during the work
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
