CUSTOMER CASE

Powershield demonstrates efficiency at Network Rail

“We are delighted that Network Rail gave us the opportunity to provide superior security doorsets to this project and we hope to build on our relationship in the future. We pride ourselves on supplying high quality products and we work closely with our customers to understand their specific requirements and to provide specialist and tailored solutions.” Chris Cole, Area Sales Manager (SE & London) for Door Group

Challenge

Door Group, a unit of ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UK & Ireland has supplied a number of high security steel doorsets to Network Rail for the upgrade of its remote signal rooms. The project was commissioned through Kent-based trade customer Taylor Refit and came as part of Network Rail’s plan to heighten the security level to its signal rooms following the recent vandalism. The customer specified that the high security doors supplied needed to offer maximum protection to the remote rooms, whilst also providing a cost-effective solution. 

Solution

Due to the easy-to-install product offering, Taylor Refit was able to remove the existing doors and install new high security steel doorsets, certified to LPS1175 security ratings from the Powershield range, in just one day - resulting in minimal disruption to services. ABLOY Protec cylinders were also incorporated into the specialist locks throughout the sites.
