Door hardware requirements

Here at ASSA ABLOY, we understand the physical security of these buildings is equally as important as the cyber security.

Effective door hardware is crucial for maintaining security within a data centre, with the main responsibilities being:

  • Physical security: High-performance locks and hinges that offer robust protection against tampering.
  • Product compliance: Ensuring all hardware complies with relevant security and fire safety standards.
  • Enhanced performance: Components, such as acoustic seals and door closers, that address specific data centre challenges such as noise control and air pressure differentiation.

Security. Compliance. Performance.

The initial point of security for any building is the door. Selecting the appropriate door and its hardware is crucial for achieving its core function: preventing unauthorised entry. However, a comprehensive security strategy extends beyond simply deterring intruders. It also involves protecting essential assets, such as server systems and machinery, while facilitating efficient and secure access for authorised individuals to specified zones.

Here at ASSA ABLOY, we can help you create a specification for your buildings requirements.
