Loughborough University, The University of Edinburgh and BMI Healthcare are just some of the organisations currently benefitting from the ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions’ design manual. One of the biggest benefits of an ASSA ABLOY design manual is the enhanced performance guarantee that is awarded to every project, for purchasing the complete ASSA ABLOY solution. This provides the customer with complete peace of mind on the reliability and longevity of ASSA ABLOY products. Paul Johnson, Commercial Manager at ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, said: “We work extensively with enduser management teams to develop design manuals that ensure security systems, access control and door hardware are consistent across whole organisations, whether it be university campuses, hospitals or commercial buildings.” LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | SEP/OCT 2016 “Having a design manual ensures that end users receive the quality solutions they require, rather than cost-saving products that may sometimes be installed during design and build projects, which may not be of a high enough standard for continual application.” Phil Sheppard from Loug hborough University said: “ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions walked the buildings around our campus to gain an understanding of our existing security systems. This enabled them to tailor security solutions that would provide better whole life costing for the university, through providing quality products that reduce our maintenance, repair and replacement expenditure.” www.assaabloy.co.uk
