What to specify
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.

In Wales, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales: in efficient working order and in good repair.

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.
