Ottawa Fire Safety being Ottawa's leading and original Fire Shutter Company, we pride ourself with our technical and mechanical expertise of these components.
NFPA 80 mandates maintaining and testing these fire rated closures through regular drop tests, repairs, and troubleshooting is essential to ensure they function properly in an emergency. These systems play a critical role in preventing the spread of fire and smoke, protecting both building occupants and property.

We service old and new
We'll take a look at your existing Fire Shutter whether it's a recent or an older model, and figure out the causes to your problems. The solutions can be very simple!
Older products may require more attention due to wear and tear over time. We specialize in servicing and refurbishing shutters that have been in use for many years, ensuring they are still fully functional and compliant with current fire safety standards.

OFS Annual Maintenance
Visual Inspection
We'll check the overall condition of the fire shutter, including its panels, casing, and frame.
Look for rust, corrosion, or signs of wear that could affect the shutter's performance.
Ensure there are no visible dents, cracks, or damaged components.
Functionality Testing
We'll test the shutter’s ability to raise and lower manually (if applicable).
Check for any resistance, grinding, or abnormal sounds while operating the shutter manually.
Our team will test the F/R closure with a "drop-test" which is testing the emergency release or fail-safe mechanism to ensure it works as intended.
Documentation and Compliance Check
We'll keep a detailed record of the maintenance performed on the fire shutter, including any parts replaced, repairs done, and tests conducted.
