Creating secure and inclusive retail environments
Our security solutions provide market-leading protection for retail environments while ensuring accessibility for all
With high-value stock and cash typically on the premises, shops have always been a prime target for thieves. Stock rooms, maintenance rooms, staff rooms, and secure storage areas are all at high risk of abuse by those seeking unauthorised access.
However, there is a competing consideration for retailers: they must also aim to create a welcoming and convenient shopping experience to attract and maintain customers. This means choosing user-friendly security solutions that ensure as many people as possible can use their facilities.
To add to this, there is a need for energy efficiency and compliance with fire safety standards and other regulations, and there is much to consider for retail facility managers preparing to fit out their premises.
At ASSA ABLOY, we help address these challenges with a full specification that meets every need of the retail environment, from front-of-house to stock rooms. This includes high-security locks and cylinders that deliver safety and security; access control solutions that ensure only authorised personnel can enter sensitive areas; and panic exit devices (PEDs) that allow for quick and safe evacuation if emergency strikes.
In addition, we place a strong emphasis on creating accessible environments for everyone. All our products are designed to comply with the latest accessibility standards, ensuring the broadest range of people can access retail spaces safely and conveniently.
Safety hardware
Retail environments cater for vast amounts of people every day. This comes with a duty of care. We can help you fulfil this with:
- Panic exit devices (PED) featuring touch bars, including our new 485 touch bar, which are harder to vandalise than push bars. These devices allow customers and staff to exit safely in case of an emergency
- Door closers, such as the DC300, that ensure the door shuts properly, slowing the spread of fire and smoke
- Our high-performance PowerLOAD hinges, which are virtually maintenance-free and come with a 25-year guarantee
- Fire seal/intumescent strips for fire doors to offer fire protection where no smoke sealing is required
- Antimicrobial lever handles that reduce the spread of germs in high-traffic areas
