How we look after doors in Oakham
- 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.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
