Our ESG Journey: Protecting People, Places & the Planet

At Sentry Doors, responsibility has always been at the heart of our business. As the UK’s leading manufacturer of certified timber fire and security doorsets, our mission is to protect people and places, and we recognise that our responsibility goes far beyond compliance and performance.
