Our Golden Thread solution means that data is available via a simple app with no manufacturer ’ s restrictions . That means better safety for our customers and increased efficiency for everyone in the fire safety industry .” The Door Data Pin , embedded into a
Sentry door during manufacture , will allow those responsible to record all processes of a door . The easily accessible system can be utilised at any stage of the doors lifecycle , providing a flexible and comprehensive location to securely store assets such as certification records , installation guides and warranties .

We are thrilled to be working with Sentry , with its history of leading fire door safety compliance to power its Golden Thread solution .”
