Luxcrete offers a comprehensive service and repair programme for fire escape hatches, cellar flaps, and emergency exits, with or without glass inserts, ensuring they operate smoothly and reliably in the event of an emergency evacuation.
We offer a 6-monthly maintenance schedules for Fire Escape Hatches and Cellar Flaps, including cleaning and servicing to ensure peak operational performance when required. This service includes the removal of all debris accumulated within the frame gutter channel, followed by wire brushing and the application of a protective coat of Galvafroid paint. Pivot bars and lock mechanisms are removed, cleaned, and greased to maintain smooth operation. Functional testing of the hatch is also carried out, including opening and closing operations, gas struts (where fitted), and locking mechanisms, ensuring the unit is left in full working order.
Without routine maintenance, the performance of the hatch can be significantly impaired. Deterioration of painted metal frame components may lead to corrosion of operational parts and, in extreme cases, could prevent the hatch leaf from opening during an emergency. Repairs to the complete hatch assembly must only be undertaken by trained Luxcrete personnel. Please contact our technical department for further assistance.
