ASSA ABLOY worked closely with architects, Pelli Clarke Pelli and Swanke, Hayden & Connell, in the early stages of the project. ASSA ABLOY Security Doors fulfilled all requirements in specification and design, from the client, Land Securities. The doorsets were employed throughout in the prism-like structure at 62 Buckingham Gate. These were designed to aid fire safety, and provide control over access and acoustics.
According to Chris Cole, area sales manager for ASSA ABLOY Security Doors, “Sustainable, robust and effective door solutions are becoming more and more attractive to commercial specifiers, who are focusing on minimising repairs and maintenance bills, aiding efficient facilities management and reducing environmental impact. We’ve seen an increase in the amount of commercial properties that see steel doors as their solution of choice.”
All the high performance metal doorsets of ASSA ABLOY were manufactured at its specialist site in Lisburn. ASSA ABLOY Security Doors manufactures and installs steel and timber doors in a range of performance options, including security, fire resistant, vandal resistant, acoustic and external.
62 Buckingham Gate will offer 23,500 square metre of prime office space with high-profile retail units at ground level.
