ASSA ABLOY adds style, safety, and security to multi-residential buildings

The company’s stylish door closers cover a wide range of needs. For example, the DC700G-CM uses Close Motion^® technology to ensure silent closing in apartments; the Exidor 9880 Guardian E-Mag offers anti-slam technology to reduce to risk of injury to nursing home residents; and the DC135 rack and pinion features a flush design that means it is less susceptible to damage.

In addition, panic exit devices, such as the elegant ASSA ABLOY 400 series touch bar, provide a quick and easy escape in emergencies while adding a stylish touch to any living space.

Peter Ashworth, Head of Specification & OEM at ASSA ABLOY, comments: “No one wants to feel like a prisoner where they live. When it comes to multi-residential, it is vital to implement solutions that combine top-notch security with aesthetics and convenience. That’s exactly what our versatile offering does – while adhering to inclusive design principles and the latest regulations.”

In light of Dame Judith Hackitt’s report, multi-residential properties must also now comply with the ‘Golden Thread’, which means the meticulous documentation and communication of safety information throughout a building’s lifecycle. ASSA ABLOY’s advanced specification software tool and BIM plugin, Openings Studio^™, is the perfect platform for this.

Peter explains: “The Grenfell disaster was a wake-up call for the entire sector, and one of its key legacies is the ‘Golden Thread’. Openings Studio^™ provides an easy-to-use platform for everyone involved in the multi-residential building process, allowing them to record relevant information at every stage to prevent any breakdowns in communication.”

In addition to door closers and panic exit devices, ASSA ABLOY’s comprehensive portfolio includes master key systems for advanced access control and intumescent seals that expand to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
