Options for fire shutters in Kirkcaldy
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Certified install. We follow the certified installation details exactly, because the rating depends on them.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.

Fire safety duties for shutters in Kirkcaldy
In Scotland, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the dutyholder must keep maintained under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006: in efficient working order and in good repair.

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
