A fire rated roller shutter is an electric door built to guard life and property when fire breaks out. Faults still show up in day-to-day use, and many users do not recognize them at first. RHIDOOR builds, installs, and repairs these doors, so we will answer the common fire rated shutter faults one by one.
This fire rated roller shutter fault Q&A covers the three problems we hear about most.
Fire Rated Roller Shutter: Noise When Opening or Closing
Noise when opening or closing gets dismissed as minor because it stays quiet. That view is wrong. Find where the noise comes from and why. It could be hardware, a loose install, or a shifted curtain. Or it is just dry — try some oil. If that fails, check the hardware. If the hardware is fine, the shutter itself has drifted; re-align it so both sides run parallel. If noise stays, call the maker’s repair tech.
Shutter Won’t Open
A motor that runs but a door that will not open is one failure mode. The cause may be the shutter off its track on both sides, or a motor fault. Check the door and the motor. If it is the shutter, replace it. If it is the motor, the job is bigger — go back to the original maker or a pro repair tech. Expertise matters here.
Shutter Won’t Close Properly
Electric fire shutters that will not close fully, or will not open fully, are common. The cause is usually a wrong limit setting or something in the way. If something blocks it, clear it — an easy fix. If the shutter itself is at fault, go back to the original maker or a pro, same as above.
