UNION, part of ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, has been shortlisted as ‘Security Hardware Manufacturer of the Year’ in the prestigious Security and Fire Excellence Awards.

Held in partnership with IFSEC and FIREX International, the Security and Fire Excellence awards honour the best products, manufacturers and projects in the fire and security sector. The Willenhall-based lock and security solutions provider received the nomination due to the strength and popularity of its extensive product range.        

Crucial to this nomination was UNION DoorSense, the battery-operated standalone system that allows fire doors to be kept open for access and automatically close during alarms. CE marked to EN 1155 standards, DoorSense meets the legal requirement for fire doors to be kept open and react fast in the event of a fire, while also assisting building access and providing greater movement when required.
