The Fortcullis range of communal entrance doorsets and glazed screens from Multisecure is being used to provide social housing tenants with real security and peace of mind in a London estate.

18 high-security Fortcullis doorset and screen packages have been installed in communal entrances at blocks of flats for Ealing Homes by specialist contractor KRM Ltd. The Fortcullis range is based on the traditional ‘portcullis’ design but uses composite timber construction eliminating weaker mortice and tenon joints. This gives greater strength, enhanced by raised muntins applied to both sides of glazing cut-outs. They also include a continuous steel hinge and gap guards for safety, and can be factory-prepared for various lock systems including electric-strikes or maglocks. A choice of 8 translucent and 16 opaque coloured, factory-applied finishes is available - as well as factory priming for on-site painting.

Multisecure serves the whole of the UK social housing doorset market and has developed a unique procurement framework to provide clients nationwide with complete solutions to physical security needs, including a network of trained Approved Installers. Product supply is direct to the main contractor to keep costs low and define responsibilities, while dedicated Project Managers coordinate the installer, the contractor and manufacture.
