Physical security in buildings is more important than ever. A building’s first and most critical barrier against all threats is its door, says ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA.
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.
“A strong focus on certification”
ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA’s door solutions portfolio offers a broad range of products from security and fire door manufacturers across Europe.
Benoit Deslandes, SVP and Head of Door Segment EMEIA, ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA commented: “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.”
The right door specification
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 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 organisational resilience against disruption and other operational threats.
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 states that its door customers never have to compromise the safety of their people or premises.
The customers also benefit from ASSA ABLOY’s installation expertise and ongoing maintenance service.

Deslandes added: “Our Door Business Segment unites nine market-leading brands, each recognised for its expertise in high-performance door solutions,

He continued: “Martech focuses on fire curtains; Mercor, Portafeu, Metalind, Fichet and HSD deliver industry-leading fire and technical door solutions tailored to their respective markets.”
“The scale and depth of expertise in our stable of brands across multiple specialisms gives customers the convenience of a true one-stop-shop for high-specification doors.”

“We’re working to integrate smart technology to enhance security for military applications, for example. When threats evolve, we innovate.”
“We are also developing intuitive configuration software to help customers work smarter alongside our door specification experts to get the exact product they need,” concluded Deslandes.
