Doors for Canary Wharf

by Mark Rowe

At London Docklands more than 700 steel doorsets have been designed, supplied and installed Security Doors, a division of ASSA ABLOY.

A part of Canary Wharf, 25 Churchill Place is a 23-storey skyscraper. Security Doors supplied Powershield fire, acoustic and personnel doorsets to the project, some of which have a polyester power coat for added durability, for the heavy traffic expected in the prime London office space. Also fitted were automated doors and specialist blast rated doors to the post rooms, which have the ability to withstand the full force of a blast wave, the makers add.

Chris Cole, Area Sales Manager for Security Doors, said: “This is our third prestigious project at Canary Wharf and we have enjoyed facing the complex issues that a building on that scale can produce. Every specification had to be made with fire safety and building efficiency in in mind, for what will be an extremely high traffic office space.

“When the office space is in full swing, creating the right brand for the companies based there will be fundamental; all of our doors are aesthetically pleasing and offer a professional finish that exudes a high-end feel.”
