Martin Roberts' steel doorsets are popular for this very demanding type of facility where strength, durability and aesthetics combine to provide high performance and low maintenance.

They offer high level protection against vandalism, casual and opportunist theft and create an effective barrier against intruders. The unique bevelled door skin is specially designed to resist ‘jemmy' attack. The doorsets have also been successfully tested for strength and durability to one million cycles, guaranteeing long term performance and eliminating the need for continual maintenance.

Ingersoll Rand's ability to provide solutions to all their requirements, as well as providing an ongoing maintenance contract were key factors in Big Yellow's supplier selection.
