Gravity Fail-Safe Curtain Operation

What happens when power fails mid-emergency - and why fail-safe descent is non-negotiable.

Emergencies are messy

Power loss, damaged cables and chaotic conditions are realistic. Curtains that rely solely on powered motors create single points of failure.

Design expectation

Gravity fail-safe mechanisms allow controlled descent even when primary power is unavailable - a core expectation on serious specifications.
