The Door & Hardware Federation (DHF), has announced that it is now subsidising ABBE Accreditation fees for all courses, with Level 2 Awards costing £40 instead of £50, and Level 4 Awards costing £50, reduced from £60. As the Building Safety Act comes into effect, and the demand for a skilled workforce increases, individuals will be required to prove that they are competent to do their job on-site. DHF is urging learners to upgrade to accreditation in order to gain a formal qualification recognised by the construction industry.

University Station, Birmingham, was completely reimagined to meet the needs of 21st-century passengers and railway staff. The new station required certified doorsets to meet stringent standards, including for fire safety. Assa Abloy specified and installed their Powershield security doors which have been successfully tested to LPS 1175 SR2 standards.
It is encouraging to see the variety of doors being installed, helping maintain safety and security in warehouses.
