Quick answer
Fire-rated rolling doors must close automatically in an alarm. They require periodic drop testing and documented inspection. We test, repair and document them — commercial overhead doors.
A fire door that does not close is a compliance failure and a life-safety risk.
How they work
Fusible links or alarm signals release the door to close under governor control.
Drop testing
The door is released and observed closing fully at controlled speed, then reset.
Records
Keep test dates and results for inspectors.
Common faults
Binding guides, governor issues, damaged curtains.
