Door
Group, a unit of ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UK & Ireland has supplied a
number of high security steel doorsets to Network Rail for the upgrade of its
remote signal rooms.
The
project was commissioned through Kent-based trade customer Taylor Refit, who
removed the existing doors and installed new high security steel doorsets
certified to LPS 1175 security ratings from the Powershield range.
The
upgrade comes as part of Network Rail’s plan to heighten the security level to
its signal rooms following the recent vandalism.
Network
Rail specified that the high security doors supplied needed to offer maximum
protection to the remote rooms, whilst also providing a cost-effective
solution. ABLOY Protec cylinders were also incorporated into the specialist
locks throughout the sites.
Due to
the easy-to-install products, Taylor Refit was able to remove and install the
security doors in just one day, resulting in minimal disruption to services.
Chris
Cole, Area Sales Manager (SE & London) for Door Group comments: “We are
delighted that Network Rail gave us the opportunity to provide superior
security doorsets to this project and we hope to build on our relationship in
the future.
“We
pride ourselves on supplying high quality products and we work closely with our
customers to understand their specific requirements and to provide specialist
and tailored solutions. We had to ensure that the doorsets we were supplying
offered maximum security, as per the customer’s specifications.”
Door
Group’s work with Network Rail follows a number of high-profile contracts with
Transport for London and Crossrail Limited.
Brian
Sofley, Managing Director for Door Group, added: “We pride ourselves on our
portfolio of well-respected clients that choose to work with us time and time
again. We attribute this to our comprehensive service offering and expert
advice throughout each project.”
