Yearly Maintenance and Drop-Tests

Visual Inspection

We conduct a thorough inspection of the fire shutter’s overall condition, including its panels, casing, and frame. Our team checks for rust, corrosion, or any signs of wear that could impact performance, and ensures there are no visible dents, cracks, or damaged components.

Functionality Testing

We will test the fire shutter’s manual operation (if applicable), checking for smooth movement and identifying any resistance, grinding, or unusual noises. Additionally, our team will perform a drop test to verify that the emergency release or fail-safe mechanism functions correctly and reliably.

Documentation and Compliance Check

We maintain a comprehensive record of all maintenance activities, including tests performed, repairs completed, and any parts replaced on the fire shutters.
