What to specify
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Fire shutter law in Scotland
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Stranraer, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
