Gerda Security worked with large local authorities to understand the nature of the problem to provide a solution.

A robust, secure reliable locking system was needed to enable asset management to maintain their service and plant rooms in a good condition, whilst permitting access to the Fire and Rescue Service in the event of an incident.
