Security and safety for the world’s protectors

Bullet-proof doors. Perimeter security.  Solid hardware. Securing government and military buildings calls for heavy duty solutions. We’ve put our security expertise through its paces to develop solutions that give complete security – and adhere to even the strictest building needs and regulations. 

Creating access to the strongest and smartest security

Town halls and public offices work very differently from police stations and prisons. But one thing all government and military buildings need, though, is smart security. The kind that evolves in lockstep with the threats our society faces, to offer the best-case scenario for even the worst-case scenario.

‘Strong’ comes as standard – like our specialist blast doors – but we also look at the bigger picture. Our mechanical locks and electronic alarms work together in totally flexible systems - so you can quickly adapt to even the most challenging situations. 

Inside the building, it’s never been more important to know who has access to what. Weapons, ammunition and information – everything can be stored securely and flexibly with you in control. Tag and trace individual items so real-time audit trails show you exactly where everything is, every second of the day.

Of course, many government spaces are also public spaces – welcoming all types of people with all kinds of access needs. We work with sturdy, barrier-free construction to make sure no-one is left out.  So whether your building is open to all, or just a few, we’ll make your peace of mind our highest priority.

Wipe the key clean of any excess lubricant. Service and maintenance Several factors can affect the opening and closing of a door. To ensure the best functionality and durability, all doors require regular service and preventive maintenance. Lock cylinder and keys Service and maintenance is recommended twice a year or according to the building´s service schedule. Always use ASSA Lock Spray A conventional lockspray may clog a mechanical cylinder and damage an electromechanical cylinder. For locks in frequently used doors or locks exposed to harsh environmental conditions we recommend more frequent lubrication. To avoid any disruptions in functionality due to condensation and/or freezing, maintenance should be scheduled before the winter period in cold climates. ASSA electro mechanical functions, such as CLIQ, should be tested in accordance to the buildings maintenance agreement. A yearly test of the electro mechanical functionality is also recommended. The battery capacity of CLIQ keys should be checked once a year. Keys with high usage tend to wear and should be replaced if the user experiences reduced opening functionality of the cylinder. Warning! Never use grease, oil or graphite-based lubricants in locking cylinders, as these lubricants cause disruptions in functionality and clog up the mechanism.

As long as you maintain control of all your keys, your Master Key System will remain secure. If you lose this control, the security can be compromised. There are four questions you must be aware of in key administration: 1. What keys have been distributed? 2. To whom have these keys been distributed? 3. What doors can a key holder access? 4. When are the keys due to be returned? Manual key management is time consuming. It also increases the risk of errors. ASSA Performer gives you enhanced control of your lock system. ASSA Performer is user friendly software withmany functions that will improve the management of your security system – some of the functions include: Managing contacts and addresses Distributing and receiving keys Changing status of keys , for instance if one is reported lost or stolen Ordering keys from your supplier Generating reminders for distribution and return dates and times Search functions Finding out what a specific key goes to Finding out which keys and users have access to a specific cylinder Printing an array of reports Printing receipts for keys that have been distributed or returned ASSA Performer with Outlook connection ASSA Performer with the Outlook add-on, makes it possible to select persons from your Outlook address book and to get reminders in your Outlook Calender.
