What we fit in Hereford
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.

- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
