The timmer safety brake is
used predominantly on powered roller shutter doors. It is used to
ensure that if the door experiences a power failure, the door is
prevented from dropping and potentially injuring somebody below.
Recent EU legislation now states that ‘safeguards against dropping
can be achieved using anti drop devices or other design features
incorporated into the door suspension system’. All powered overhead
doors must be fitted with an anti drop device as in accordance with
EN13241-1 and EN12604 clause 4.3.4 (5.3.4 revised draft)Shutters
also has an applicable standard EN13659-2004 which states
performance requirements including safety.
