ASSA ABLOY and Lorient are delighted to return to the UK’s fastest-growing fire safety exhibition, The Fire Safety Event, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham, from 28 – 30 April 2026. Located at stand 4/G50, these industry leaders will present a comprehensive range of complete fire door systems.
Spanning an impressive 84 square metres, the stand will demonstrate the critical role that door hardware and intumescent sealing systems play in passive fire protection, showcasing how correctly specified and installed components help safeguard lives and property.
Engaging Experiences and Live Demonstrations
Experience fire safety in action through compelling fire test footage that clearly illustrates the importance of properly specified and installed intumescent sealing systems. Visitors can explore miniature burnt door displays that highlight the risks associated with unprotected ironmongery and ineffective seals.

- Panic hardware
- Intumescent sealing systems
- Drop seals
- Glazing systems
