ASSA ABLOY UK SPECIFICATION BIM
SEMINAR PROVES A HIT AT RIBA
» » ASSA ABLOY UK
Specification, a UK division of
ASSA ABLOY, the global leader
in door opening solutions,
has delivered a RIBA-
accredited seminar on the
realities of working in a BIM
environment.
Hosted at the Royal Institute
of British Architects, the
seminar was well-received by
over 100 architects, contractors
and project managers who
attended from across the
country.
Over the course of the
morning the seminar covered
a number of topics including
the practicalities of BIM
specification, the impact in
terms of time and cost on the
specification process, and
the effective approaches to a
greater and more value rich
BIM experience.
Panellists included a
number of key architects and
senior project managers in
the industry, who discussed
their experiences with BIM
modelling and took questions
from the floor.
Feedback from the delegates
was also positive, with Nigel
Wright, Director of WRIGHT-
CLASS Solutions Ltd saying:
“The event was a good
balance of discussion and
case study examples pertinent
to the fast-moving BIM and
big data environment. The
challenges of compliance, BIM
level 2 standards and future
development was particularly
of interest.”

LOCK LOCK AND ULTION SHINE AT LOCKEXPO
» » IT WAS A HUGELY SUCCESSFUL
LockExpo for Brisant Secure, with
locksmiths eager to see the unrivalled
features of both Lock Lock and Ultion.
Brisant Secure has become the go-to
brand for unrivalled security thanks to
the Sold Secure Diamond, 3 Star, Secured
by Design accredited Ultion and the
unprecedented £1,000 security guarantee
it comes with. But LockExpo was primarily
used for the promotion of Lock Lock, the
only door security handle that carries
Sold Secure certification from the Master
Locksmiths Association.
Lock Lock has been designed with a
registered edgeless design, which means
greater security as there are no surfaces in
which would-be burglars can get a fixing
on to remove the handle. It’s also now
passed the 6,000-hour mark in a salt spray
chamber as against the 240/480 industry
standard, providing long-term good looks
in the face of pitted handles that have
plagued the door industry for decades.
Steve Stewart CEO of Brisant Secure
was enthused about the show success
and commented: “We had a great show,
reflecting the incredible loyalty and sales
success that our customers have with
Lock Lock and Ultion, along with our
unrivalled next day service. With the recent
announcement that we’ve become the
official Federal Lock stockist in the UK,
we’re now well set to building our following
further with both door manufacturers and
locksmiths across the country.”
