Door Industry Journal 96 - Autumn 2026 | A New Industry Event is Coming...

OPENEX 2028 - 8-10 June - Telford

For more than a decade, Clearview Group has been at the heart of the glazing, door, security and hardware sectors through Clearview, Pro Installer, Locksmith Journal and Door Industry Journal.

EVERY MONTH, our publications connect with around 60,000 industry professionals. We report on the products shaping the market, celebrate the achievements of businesses across the sector and help bring customers, suppliers and industry professionals together.

When Door Industry Journal joined the Clearview Group family, we described it as the missing piece of the puzzle. It completed our publishing portfolio and strengthened our ability to represent the many connected sectors that make up today’s industry.

Over recent years, that bigger picture has become increasingly clear.

The way businesses operate has changed.

Companies are working across multiple markets. Windows, doors, hardware, security, automation, access control and smart technologies are increasingly connected. The industry has evolved; and the opportunities have evolved with it.

Alongside our publishing activities, Clearview Group has always believed in bringing people together. Our successful Lockex 2016 and Lockex 2018 exhibitions created valuable opportunities for businesses to meet, network and showcase innovation. A further event was planned for 2020 before the pandemic changed the landscape for exhibitions.

Since then, the ambition to create another industry event has remained.

Following conversations with businesses across our customer base, it is clear there is a strong appetite for an event that reflects the industry as it is today, bringing together the companies, products and people that make up the complete supply chain.

So, we’re pleased to confirm... We’re doing it.

In Spring 2028, Clearview Group will launch a brand-new trade exhibition, in a central location.

A place where the industries we serve come together.

A place where new products will be launched, new relationships will be built and existing ones strengthened.

A place where the pages of our magazines come to life.
