Gerda Security Products is the leading British manufacturer of high-specification fire doorsets and emergency access systems, with over 25 years of experience. Our combined expertise and IP support fire safety and security across the built environment.

Gerda operates with a focus on measurable environmental impact reduction throughout our product lifecycle and manufacturing processes.

Our doorsets offer proven operational durability, with multiple product ranges remaining operational in situ for over 18 years. Our flat entrance doorsets are multi-performance, providing thermal insulation tested at UKAS-accredited facilities to BS EN ISO 10077-1, alongside acoustic insulation tested to EN ISO 10140-2.

Operationally we recycle replacement doors, reformed into heat bricks for our manufacturing facilities, reduce coating waste via automated CNC paint equipment and utilise biodegradable product packaging. To support lower-emission transport, all our sites are equipped with active EV charging stations.

As a member of the SME Climate Hub, we operate a certified ISO 14001 environmental management system across our sites. For more information, please view our ESG Report on our Knowledge page.

An ISO 9001:2015 organisation, we implement a golden thread of quality assurance throughout our Company; and our products through independent third party certification.

This includes Triple Certification for fire resistance, enhanced security and smoke control for flat entrance doorsets by BlueSky certification; BlueSky certification for the manufacture of fire doorsets for communal areas; and UKCA certification for external fire doorsets.

Additionally, our installation, maintenance and inspection services are also covered by BlueSky certification.

With our technically knowledgeable sales teams, specialist technical department, qualified surveying teams, on-site resident liaison, contract management, third party certified installation and maintenance teams and customer liaison managers, we offer a comprehensive range of services to complement our rigorously tested products. Our product life-cycle management and social value policies guide our commitment to achieve carbon neutral status in 2030.

As a leading specialist in the UK with over 25 year’s experience in fire doorsets for the housing sector, our products hold a documented track record of performance in real-world fire incidents. Our employees are highly skilled and trained in product and safety regulations, relevant to their roles, contributing to the creation of products that make a difference to the built environment.

Gerda Security doorsets are manufactured in accordance with third-party certification. Continuous investment into state-of-the-art equipment and bespoke software has enhanced manufacturing processes, allowing for dimensions and data to be automatically cross checked throughout the ordering system.

This ensures that the doorsets meet a building’s requirements within the scope of Gerda’s fire test remit.

Gerda manufacture all doorsets at our wholly-owned and managed factories; providing us with the ability to control and measure every element of the manufacturing process. This capability enables us to offer competitive lead times on all project sizes.

Traceability is a core feature of our manufacturing processes. Since the 1990’s each unique doorset is produced with its own code and this Is now part of the G-Smart App, our own system of digital life-cycle management.

G-Smart holds the ‘DNA’ – tracking the doorset from its inception at the survey stage through to doorset manufacture and on to installation, maintenance and repair.

Gerda has always engineered its products to exceed recognised industry test standards. For further information on this, please contact us to receive a copy of our performance specifications.

The doorsets undergo rigorous primary testing in a range of styles and configurations, offering multiple specified options for the living and accommodation environment.

Our primary-owned test evidence at UKAS accredited test houses means that our fundamental doorset design and construction is consistently tested.

Unlike cascaded test evidence owned by someone else, Gerda’s primary-owned test evidence portfolio is comprehensive and provides proven, compliant solutions for the built environment.
