FIRE SAFETY & SECURITY
OPENING SOLUTIONS EVENTS ‘UNLOCK
COMPLIANCE’ FOR FIRE DOOR SAFETY
» » FIRE DOORS ARE OFTEN THE FIRST
line of defence in a fire, yet the strict
specification, maintenance and management
of these doorsets is still not fully understood.
This is something that ASSA ABLOY is
passionate about changing.
As such, to coincide with Fire Door Safety
Week 2019 ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions
UK & Ireland hosted two dedicated events
to help people responsible for fire doors,
unlock compliance to fire door safety.
Brian Sofley, Managing Director at ASSA
ABLOY Door Group, comments: “In May
2018, results of the Independent Review
of Building Regulation and Fire Safety,
led by Dame Judith Hackitt, made it clear
that even after the Grenfell Tower tragedy
in 2017, fire doors remained a significant
area of neglect, often downgraded and
mismanaged throughout their service life.
“Fire safety can only be properly
guaranteed if the standards and checks of
equipment such as fire doors are carried out
by-the-book, and throughout the lifecycle of
both the products and the building.”
The aim of the events is to educate
and inform delegates about the fire
door standards that can often be lost in
translation. ASSA ABLOY brings together all
of its brands and wide ranging experience
to speak about the common issues
surrounding fire door compliance; offering
practical advice on how to overcome these
issues, by breaking down current and future
regulations and ramifications, such as:
• Safeguarding compliance through the
supply chain
• The important role door hardware plays
in ensuring building compliance
• The role and performance of fire door
seals
• The importance of
compartmentalisation in fire safety
Eryl Jones, Managing Director at ASSA
ABLOY Door Hardware & Access Control
Group, adds: “Growth and acquisitions
give ASSA ABLOY Door Hardware & Access
Control Group the broadest range of fire
compliant door hardware products in the
market, backed up by an experienced team
of industry professionals.
“ASSA ABLOY’s fire safety events have
been a great success over the last couple of
years, and we are keen to carry on helping
industry professionals to understand
compliance when it comes to fire door
safety standards.”
