Ironmongery
Laidlaw has realised that for the specifier the choice of hardware can be intimidating with poor selection resulting in poor performance. The Laidlaw approach therefore is as follows:
-The architectural hardware specified is fit for purpose
-All components are compatible minimising on site work and extra costs
-Coordinated products resulting in a consistent design theme and harmony
-Providing value for money from the outset
-Laidlaw also seek to ensure that products are specified in accordance with best practice. Particular attention is paid to BS8300:2001 , Building Regulations Approved Document M. and the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
Our Anti-Ligature Range encompasses a variety of solutions that can be selected in a variety of combinations, depending on the level of security required. Through its experience Laidlaw has also developed its comprehensive Orbis range into three families of suited products. The company is also a key distributor for all the major brands.

Laidlaw access control for landmark Bristol school
December 2010
At the newly built, £30 million Abbeywood Community School in Filton, Laidlaw Solutions worked with architects Alec French and BAM Construction to produce a doorset specification which involved the installation of a proximity system using Mifare smart card technology. The architect designed the school to RIBA Stage D+ and was retained as client’s supervisor through to completion. The mixture of both online and offline control units lent itself to the way the school wished to run its security, the online readers giving updates and system changes to each card presented. Hard-wired, online units were connected to the building’s network together with offline, stand alone units which utilised wall readers and magnetic locking. Online wall readers and controllers were interfaced with the automatic entrance doors at reception, which unlock and open when a card is presented to the reader. Over 160 battery powered electronic handle sets were also fitted to classrooms, offices and staff rooms.
Students were heavily involved in how their new school buildings would look and worked with architects and builders as part of their studies. The graffiti style glazing and doorsets in bold, primary colours are a clear result of their involvement. The 920 pupil school has since been granted Specialist School status in Humanities, with English, Geography and Drama being the specialist subjects.
The shift in favour of closer cooperation between manufacturer, specifier, contractor and client has undoubtedly ensured that issues of durability and promises of like-for-like performance are put to closer scrutiny. Speaking of his experience of the project BAM Construction’s Project Manager Andy Syddall said, “Laidlaw scheduled the supply and installation of an access control system for doors throughout the school. While still a relatively new concept for schools, the support Laidlaw provided throughout demonstrated their experience of managing projects of such a scale”.
The school was chosen by South Gloucestershire Council as the first to receive funding from the Department for Children, Schools, and Families as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme. It is just one of a long list education projects for which Laidlaw access control, doorset and handrail systems have been chosen.
Launch of new sector guides
October 2010
Laidlaw Solutions’ extensive experience of supplying doorset, handrail, architectural ironmongery and access control systems has led to the publication of eight specific sector guides. These include design solutions for Education, Retail, Healthcare, Hospitality, Leisure, Residential and Commercial environments in addition to information on requirements for Inclusive Design.
Whether for new build or refurbishment, Laidlaw has a proven record of scheduling fast track specifications of considerable size and complexity. This often entails meeting bespoke requirements or adapting standard products to meet specific aspects of performance. The huge selection of door ironmongery, handrail/balustrade options and factory laminated, veneered and painted doors provide scope to meet the most sophisticated interior design and security needs.
