What to specify
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.

- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
What this work can involve
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
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 Glasgow, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Scotland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

A single shutter is typically fitted in one to two days, with commissioning and alarm testing on top. Lead times for fire-rated products are confirmed with the quote, and work is planned around your operations.
