Door Security

Your door comes with a PAS24 approved multipoint locking system and have a kitemarked cylinder lock as standard. The locks feature a cylinder which is impossible to bump or break. All tested to the latest BS6375 security standards.

Yes, your new composite door does look beautiful, but it also has to live your life. It will need to cope with regular scrapes, knocks and bangs, and trial by small child. That's why we put our door through its paces in the BSI BS6375 test. That involves opening and closing the door 50,000 times – because they’re obsessed with the quality of those hinges and making sure you can use your door for years - and years - to come.

Secured by design is a flagship UK police initiative to help ‘design out’ crime through the use of high-quality innovative products and processes.

In order to achieve Secured by Design status, our composite door has been rigorously tested and must adhere to the organisation’s strict standards.

Statistics show that when it comes to burglaries in the UK, front doors are the main source of access. Therefore, they need to be made as secure as possible. Our Secured by Design upgrade meets the national standard for safer homes and is also recognised by many insurance companies.

We offer eight locking options - the Yale Lockmaster, ERA Vectis, Winkhaus Trulock and AV2 "Slam Lock", the Yale YS170, the Fab n Fix Haven, and the Avocet Affinity lock. And now you get the GU Slam Lock on all FD30s fire doors and any door supplied with hardware from our extensive contemporary range.

Those strict BSI people do full weather testing, and security testing, and more security testing (PAS024). Because they’re particularly obsessive, they test every feature of the door. At the end of it, your door is awarded with one of the BSI’s highest accolades, a BS6375 & PAS024 award.

The doors are tested by the BSI by spraying six litres of water every minute directly at the door in their test chamber. That’s a serious amount of rain.

Our doors are tested in a pressurised chamber to simulate gusting winds. The tests start at 500 Pascal – 63 miles an hour. Then the BSI turned those gusts up to the equivalent of 80 miles an hour (800 Pascal). That’s stronger than a hurricane.
