Our guiding principles permeate everything we do

was important to work with
experienced suppliers and well
known brands. ASSA ABLOY had
the expertise and product depth
to deliver fit for purpose solutions,
as well as vast experience in the
balance between providing
access and preventing security
and fire threats.”

requirements.
As a global manufacturer, ASSA ABLOY offer the reassurance of local onsite technical support

client and building operator alike
Canary Wharf
Each ASSA ABLOY specification
was delivered in accordance
with an individual development’s
unique architectural aesthetic,
whilst accommodating the
client’s security, fire, life safety
and building operational
efficiency requirements.
Optimum Performance
The secret to a successful security strategy lies with the invisible integration of a clients brief
within the environment in which it is to protect whilst providing the consumer with a user
friendly interface.
To attain such an indiscernible solution we gain a clear understanding of how a building will
operate then rigorously review our extensive range of access control solutions to determine the
correct combination of components available to provide optimum compatibility yet retaining
function and form as the waypoints in the specification process.
Design, integration, operation and durability are assured
