ASSA ABLOY Delivers The UK’s First Installation Of Next-Gen Spiral Doors
ASSA ABLOY has supplied and installed a comprehensive range of industrial door types for PRL Logistics, a logistics services provider for leading supermarkets.
Having previously supported PRL Logistics at their Premier Park site in Doncaster, ASSA ABLOY worked with contractor Fit Out UK to improve a high-traffic zone within the Rotherham facility, delivering the UK’s very first installation of the next- generation ASSA ABLOY RT1000 spiral high-speed doors. This landmark upgrade, alongside doors for their new extension, has successfully bridged the gap between maximising operational speed and climate control.
Philip Whiteley, High Speed Doors and Docking Sales Manager at ASSA ABLOY explains: “PRL Logistics operate in a fast-paced environment, moving goods, counters and fridges for major supermarkets. With two buildings including an extension on-site, it is imperative staff can move between buildings efficiently and safely. Our range of rigid high-speed doors offers the perfect hybrid solution, providing high-speed performance and security for the external building envelope.”
Supplying for the extension first, ASSA ABLOY installed four Crawford OH1042S fast overhead sectional
doors, providing efficient and reliable
level access between internal and external areas. Operating faster than a standard sectional door, they help to reduce waiting times and improve traffic flow, particularly in areas with regular movement of pedestrians and material handling equipment such as pallet trucks and forklifts. Designed for frequent daily use, the doors deliver dependable performance while supporting smooth and safe movement through a busy logistics environment.

Alongside these solutions, a key element of the installation was a geared drive fire shutter, designed to provide essential fire protection within the building layout. Positioned centrally within the transition area and flanked by insulated roller shutters, the system plays a critical role in compartmentalising the space. In the event of a fire, it helps contain the spread of flames and smoke, protecting both personnel and assets.
