There will be a huge variety of exhibitors, ranging from lockmakers to door security producers, who will be manning their stands throughout the day.
The DHF is confidently expecting a large turnout of visitors to the event. In addition to having the opportunity of visiting the trade stands, visitors will also be able to attend a number of free workshops covering a wide variety of hot topics. These include domestic fire safety, fire door certification, the benefits of CE marking garage doors under the Construction Products Directive, fire door hardware, access for the disabled, working at heights, repair and maintenance, anti fall back devices and power operated driveway gates.
