At Door Entry Direct, we don't just supply products. We help installers spec the right systems for every job, which is why attending The Security Event (TSE) 2026 at the NEC Birmingham from 28 to 30 April was a highlight of our calendar.

Europe's leading commercial, enterprise, and domestic security exhibition brought together thousands of installers, integrators, consultants, and manufacturers under one roof. With over 450 exhibitors showcasing the latest in access control, door entry, video surveillance, and integrated systems, it was the perfect environment to connect, learn, and research practical solutions our customers can apply immediately.
