License a tested invisible fire-rated door system — and produce it as your own
A2B DOORS® licenses the complete ALU3 system to established door manufacturers: tested configurations, technical documentation, training and profile supply. You produce, brand and sell the doors. No royalty per door.
- NO ROYALTY PER DOOR
- EI1 30 · EI2 30 · EI 30
- About 4 months to production
- Your own brand
PER DOOR
A licence for the system — not a fee on every door.
Many licensing models take a percentage of every unit you sell. Ours does not. You source the specific ALU3 aluminium profiles from A2B DOORS®; the margin on every door you produce and sell stays with your company.
How the licensing model works
A clear division of roles. We bring the system; you bring the production and the market.

Develop it yourself, or license it?
An invisible fire-rated door is a demanding product to develop. Licensing lets you skip the most expensive and uncertain part.
| Develop in-house | A2B DOORS® licence | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to market | Typically 3–5 years of development and testing | About 4 months, depending on the technical assessment |
| Development investment | Your own R&D, prototypes and repeated fire tests | Built on more than €3.1 million already invested |
| Fire-test risk | Uncertain outcome; failed tests mean redesign and retesting | Tested to EN 1634-1 and classified to EN 13501-2 |
| Cost per door | Depends on your own development choices | No royalty per door |
| Brand and market | Your own | Your own |
Built for established door manufacturers
We work with a limited number of selected partners. The licence is the right fit if your company recognises itself in most of the points below.
- You already produce interior doors, ideally with a 40 mm door leaf
- You want a premium, differentiated product next to your current range
- You sell to architects, contractors, project developers or dealers
- You prefer a proven system over a multi-year R&D project
- You want to build the product under your own brand
The licence in numbers
Implementation time depends on the outcome of the technical assessment of your production. Classification applies within the tested configurations and field of application.
From first call to first production
A clear, low-risk route. You only commit after the technical fit is confirmed.
Confidential call
We discuss your company, production capacity, markets and ambitions.
Technical assessment
We review your door-leaf production and confirm compatibility and any requirements.
Licence & training
Licence agreement, documentation transfer and training of your teams.
Production & launch
Start-up support and launch of the range under your own brand.
Licensing questions
Is there a royalty per door?
No. There is no royalty per door produced or sold. Licence terms are discussed confidentially during the licensing call; the specific ALU3 aluminium profiles are supplied by A2B DOORS®.
What exactly do we license?
The right to produce and sell the ALU3 system under your own brand, together with the technical documentation, the use of the fire test and classification reports for the licensed product, training and ongoing technical support.
Can we get territorial exclusivity?
Territorial exclusivity is available for most markets and is agreed per market. It depends on the partner’s capacity and ambitions.
In which languages is the licence agreement available?
The licence agreement is available in English, French, German or Dutch.
Can the doors carry CE marking?
Not yet. CE marking of internal fire-resisting pedestrian doors will become possible once EN 14351-2 is harmonised. Until then, fire performance is demonstrated through the fire test report (EN 1634-1) and the classification report (EN 13501-2), together with the applicable national requirements in your market.
How long until we can start production?
Typically about four months after the agreement, depending on the outcome of the technical assessment and your internal planning.
Does A2B DOORS® compete with its licensees?
No. Our role is to provide the system, documentation, profiles and support. Our licensees own the relationship with their market.
