At Gerda Security, we are committed to creating safer built environments with innovative, high-quality fire safety and security products. As a leading fire safety products manufacturer, we design and manufacture solutions that meet rigorous safety standards, ensuring durability, compliance, and usability.

With over 25 years of expertise, Gerda Security products aim to protect lives and property through products that are trusted by housing associations, building managers, and residents alike.

The Role of Fire Safety Products in Modern Infrastructure

Fire safety products play a crucial role in safeguarding residential, commercial, and public spaces. They protect against fire hazards, ensuring the safety of occupants and minimising property damage. At Gerda Security, we focus on designing fire safety and security products tailored to meet the specific needs of each environment. From fire doorsets to Premises Information Boxes and beyond, our solutions ensure that buildings are equipped to handle emergencies effectively.

A Comprehensive Range of Fire Safety and Security Products

Fire Doorsets

Our fire doorsets are engineered for more than just fire resistance. Each product also offers enhanced security, thermal insulation, and acoustic performance. This makes them ideal for residential blocks, communal areas, and commercial properties. Our doorsets undergo primary testing to ensure compliance with British and European standards.

Premises Information Boxes

Gerda Security is the original pioneer of the Premises Information Box (the original Secure Information Box), a secure information storage solution that has become the standard in the industry. These boxes store critical building information, such as evacuation plans, fire strategies, and utility shut-off locations.

Emergency services rely on immediate access to accurate information to make time-critical decisions. Premises Information Boxes, tested to STS205 BR2 and compliant with government legislation, ensure that this data is accessible to the Fire and Rescue Service  when it’s needed.

Quality Assurance

At Gerda Security, quality assurance is embedded in every stage of our process. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified organisation, we implement rigorous controls to ensure that all products meet the highest standards of quality and safety.

Our certifications include:

• Dual Certification: Combining fire resistance with enhanced security, our doorsets meet the dual demands of safety and protection.
• Q Mark Certification: This ensures our doorsets are manufactured to the highest standards.
• UKCA Certification: A further testament to the quality of our external fire doorsets.

Sustainability at Gerda Security

Sustainability is at the core of our fire safety products manufacturing operations. We believe that protecting the environment is as important as protecting lives, and so we implement the following environmentally-friendly practices.

• Recycling Initiatives: We recycle old doorsets into heat bricks for use in our manufacturing facilities, significantly reducing waste.
• Eco-Friendly Packaging: All product packaging is biodegradable.
• Carbon Neutral Goals: As a member of the SME Climate Hub, we are on track to achieve carbon-neutral status by 2030.
• Energy Efficiency: Our environmentally-friendly vehicle fleet is also an award-winning one, and all our sites are equipped with EV charging stations.

These measures not only reduce our carbon footprint but also reflect our commitment to a sustainable future.

Innovation: The G-Smart System

Our proprietary G-Smart system ensures full traceability for every doorset we produce. This advanced technology tracks each product from its design stage to maintenance and repair, providing a digital life-cycle management solution.

The unique coding system embedded in each doorset allows building managers to access critical information, such as maintenance history, and compliance certifications. This innovation not only enhances safety but also streamlines operations for building maintenance teams.

Manufacturing Excellence and Testing

At Gerda Security, our state-of-the-art fire safety products manufacturing facilities are equipped with bespoke software and automated systems to ensure precision and efficiency. Every fire doorset we produce is custom-made to fit specific building requirements.

Unlike fire safety products manufacturers that rely on cascaded test evidence, Gerda performs primary testing on all products at UKAS-accredited test houses. This guarantees that our products meet and often exceed industry standards, offering a level of reliability unmatched by competitors.
