Door & Window Hardware

Transportation hubs host vast numbers of people every day, and this presents a unique set of security requirements.

The high flow of passengers demands door systems that facilitate movement without compromising on safety or security. Hold-open door closers provide the perfect solution to this, ensuring doors remain open for seamless access during peak times but automatically close when called on to contain fire.

Another hazard of passengers and staff in constant movement is tailgating, or people gaining unauthorised access to restricted zones. To counter this, access control systems ensure only authorised personnel can enter sensitive areas in airports, train stations, and similar environments.

High traffic means wear and tear. Doors and emergency exits in transportation hubs are subjected to heavy use (and occasionally intentional damage), so it is important to choose durable solutions such as flush touch bar panic hardware, which keeps emergency exits functional and secure for longer.

In some areas, such as airports, it is necessary to protect the entire facility from unauthorised access with access control solutions that help monitor and secure the perimeter.

Finally, as with any area where large crowds congregate, fire safety is critical. Not only should the right hardware be installed, but it must be regularly maintained to ensure that doors continue to function properly throughout their entire lifecycle.

At ASSA ABLOY, we’ve spent decades perfecting answers to the unique challenges of the transportation sector – from departure gates to train station platforms. Here’s a guide to everything we offer.

Safety hardware

People use transportation hubs in vast numbers every day. Above all, this means facility managers have a duty of care to ensure users are safe at all times – especially in cases of emergency.

A key consideration is evacuation routes. Our 400 Series touch bar panic hardware allows for fast and easy exit during emergencies, ensuring the safety of passengers while maintaining security against unauthorised access.

It is important to balance the free movement of people with security and safety. With this in mind, our DC300G-HF hold-open door closers keep doors open during peak times, but automatically close in emergencies such as fires.

In addition, our fire door seals help prevent the spread of fire and smoke, safeguarding evacuation routes and protecting both passengers and buildings.

Solutions for any application

At ASSA ABLOY, we provide a comprehensive range of solutions that enhance safety, security, and accessibility in a wide range of transportation settings.

In airports, our access control systems ensure only authorised personnel can enter secure areas, while emergency exit hardware such as panic bars facilitate safe evacuation during emergencies.

Our hold-open door closers enhance the flow of passengers in train and bus stations, allowing easy access for everyone, including those with disabilities.

In shipyards, where heavy machinery is a constant risk, our perimeter security solutions protect against unauthorised access, ensuring a safer working environment.

We also enhance the accessibility of motorway services with user-friendly entry systems that promote ease of movement for all travellers by accommodating various mobility needs.
