ASSA ABLOY EMEIA: The keys to choosing the right high-specification door

  • 21 Mar 2025

Physical security in buildings is more important than ever. A building’s first, and most critical, barrier against all threats is its door. Fire and security door solutions protect lives, assets, and business continuity. Identifying and installing the right solution across a range of fire and high-security applications requires a supplier with experience and expertise. ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA‘s door solutions portfolio offers a broad, unique range of products from leading security and fire door manufacturers across Europe.

Benoit Deslandes, SVP & Head of Door Segment EMEIA at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA, comments: “Our portfolio includes fire-rated hinged doors, fire curtains, sliding doors, and high-security doors, all developed with a strong focus on certification to meet local and international standards.”

The right door specification: key to successful performance

Whether safeguarding lives in commercial, industrial, or residential environments, or providing protection for high-risk settings, high-spec doors provide the reassurance of safety and reliability where it matters most. 

Specifying a security and/or fire door is complex, requiring a balance of fire safety, security standards, and building codes. It must provide fire resistance while meeting security needs, fitting within the building configuration, and ensuring durability. Factors like materials, hardware, and environmental conditions add to the challenge, making compliance and functionality equally critical.

By leveraging decades of security expertise, ASSA ABLOY delivers high-performance, tailor-made door solutions for the most demanding and diverse environments, from prisons and military sites to schools and data centres. A correctly specified door separates hazardous zones from areas of general use, keeping people safe. It improves organisational resilience against disruption and other operational threats.

A ‘who’s who’ of European security door expertise

Each ASSA ABLOY door in the portfolio is engineered and manufactured by a sector specialist to meet the highest standards for performance and reliability, even in the toughest environments. ASSA ABLOY door customers never have to compromise the safety of their people or premises. They also benefit from ASSA ABLOY’s installation expertise and ongoing maintenance service.

Benoit Deslandes adds: “Our Door Business Segment unites nine market-leading brands, each recognised for its expertise in high-performance door solutions

“Donimet specialises in doors for military and public sector applications, Sunray is known for louvred systems and high-security steel doors. Martech focuses on fire curtains; Mercor, Portafeu, Metalind, Fichet, and HSD deliver industry-leading fire and technical door solutions tailored to their respective markets.

“The scale and depth of expertise in our stable of brands across multiple specialisms gives customers the convenience of a true one-stop-shop for high-specification doors.”

The door’s digital future?

Alongside unmatched physical protection from doors engineered by Europe’s leading manufacturers, ASSA ABLOY is investing in door innovations which can bring the advantages of digitalisation to a building’s most important barriers.

Benoit continues: “We’re working to integrate smart technology to enhance security for military applications, for example. When threats evolve, we innovate.

“We are also developing intuitive configuration software to help customers work smarter alongside our door specification experts to get the exact product they need.”

Combining a broad portfolio of specialist manufacturers with the innovations that digitalisation brings – user convenience, workplace efficiency – ASSA ABLOY doors protect what matters most, now and long into the future.
