CUSTOMER CASE

ASSA ABLOY Masters the Art of Secure door sets for the National Gallery of Ireland

“Doorsets for this particular project had to be fully compliant to achieve the latest standards and meet the specialist needs of each situation. Factors to consider included fire, acoustics, air tightness, high-security and pressure resistance.” James Blanchfield, Pre-Contracts Manager for Ireland and Mainland Europe at Modubuild

Challenge

ASSA ABLOY Security Doors has supplied the National Gallery of Ireland with security, ballistic and fire rated doorsets, for the refurbishment of a 150-year-old listed building. The extensive refurbishment came in at close to €30 million, in order to restore the building to its former glory and meet today’s high fire safety and security standards. 

Solution

Approximately 30 steel doorsets, including a mixture of LPS 1175 security rating and fire rated glass doorsets, were delivered to the Dargan and Milltown Wings in Merrion Square in order to maintain maximum security as well as adhere to the strictest fire safety regulations. Complex delivery requirements were taken into consideration at an early stage to ensure the project ran smoothly.
