ASSA has supplied a complete door-opening solution, including cylinder locks and door closers, as part of a large redevelopment project at the University of Northampton in Northamptonshire, England.

The refurbishment project creates a new home for the School of Science and Technology and an extension of the School of Education, and is part of a larger project designed to further enhance facilities at the university.

A total of 250 doors were upgraded to ASSA hardware, with ASSA cylinders in modular lock cases used to secure sensitive office areas and attractive ASSA return-to-door lever handles used in public areas. To assist the University of Northampton in fulfilling the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 – helping specifically to meet BS8300 and Approved Document M guidelines – ASSA Cam Motion door closers were used.
