Physical security in buildings is more important than ever. A building’s first, and most critical, barrier against all threats is its door. Fire and security door solutions protect lives, assets, and business continuity. Identifying and installing the right solution across a range of fire and high-security applications requires a supplier with experience and expertise. ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA’s door solutions portfolio offers a broad, unique range of products from leading security and fire door manufacturers across Europe.
“Our portfolio includes fire-rated hinged doors, fire curtains, sliding doors, and high-security doors, all developed with a strong focus on certification to meet local and international standards,” says Benoit Deslandes, SVP & Head of Door Segment EMEIA at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.
The right door specification: key to successful performance
Whether safeguarding lives in commercial, industrial, or residential environments, or providing protection for high-risk settings, high-spec doors provide the reassurance of safety and reliability where it matters most.
Specifying a security and/or fire door is complex, requiring a balance of fire safety, security standards, and building codes. It must provide fire resistance while meeting security needs, fitting within the building configuration, and ensuring durability. Factors like materials, hardware, and environmental conditions add to the challenge, making compliance and functionality equally critical.
By leveraging decades of security expertise, ASSA ABLOY delivers high-performance, tailor-made door solutions for the most demanding and diverse environments, from prisons and military sites to schools and data centres. A correctly specified door separates hazardous zones from areas of general use, keeping people safe. It improves organizational resilience against disruption and other operational threats.
A ‘who’s who’ of European security door expertise
Each ASSA ABLOY door in the portfolio is engineered and manufactured by a sector specialist to meet the highest standards for performance and reliability, even in the toughest environments. ASSA ABLOY door customers never have to compromise the safety of their people or premises. They also benefit from ASSA ABLOY’s installation expertise and ongoing maintenance service.
