Door security testing
The importance of third party certification and testing.
Third party certification is where an independent body reviews the manufacturing process of a product and independently determines that the product manufactured complies with specific standards for safety, quality and performance.
We take door security very seriously and while the current requirements for Secured by Design doors and PAS24:2022 are more stringent than ever before, at RK Doors we have gone even further by ensuring our doors are bullet proof... and have been tested are now certified FB4 which withstands impacts from the world's most powerful handguns like the 44 Magnum... we are proud to offer our customers some of the most secure doors available.
RK Doors receiving our Secure by Design accreditation, RK Door Systems are the first Secured by Design member in Cornwall.
Security Testing.... passed
The video below is an attack test on an RK Door at a testing facility, this video has been sped up and edited otherwise it would have been very long...
The test was conducted by an independent agent in conditions similar to your home in a full supported rig. It’s important to mention that these guys pride themselves on being able to break into any door.
They were very disappointed to not get in.
Secured By Design
Secured By Design – What is it?
Secured by Design is an initiative developed and owned by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). The purpose of SBD is to incorporate crime prevention into the design of fenestration products and new housing developments (Brooke, 2013). 91% of all crime recorded in 1987 was property related.
Secured By Design was created in 1989 the scheme is enforced by a team of around 200 Crime Prevention Design Advisers (CPDA) or Architectural Liaison Officer (ALOs) who operate and contribute to it on a daily basis.
SBD is split into two main sections. Part one is concerned with the aspects of external spaces on a building development such as lighting, parking and surveillance. Part two focuses on the security, weather performance, strength and the durability of the windows and door sets.
Secured by Design, does it work?
Research highlights that SBD housing developments suffer up to 75% less burglary when they are compared to a non SBD development; this is compelling evidence that following the SBD guidelines will cut down the damage and cost caused by such crime
Teedon et al (2009) findings of a new development in the Glasgow housing association show total house breaking crimes had decreased by 26% in the SBD area, and that attempted house breaking had decreased by 59%.
The requirements of Secured by Design
SBD specifies that windows and doors manufacturers applying for SBD membership must be certified against a certification scheme operated by a UKAS approved third party certification body, involving factory production control audits. The current SBD requirements are more stringent than ever before, with windows and doors subjected to the following regime.
- Third Party Certification for fabricator. A Factory production control (FPC) audit will be used to establish the initial and ongoing ability of the manufacturer to fabricate products covered by a WinMark certification Scheme.
- PAS24:2022 Enhanced security testing
- BS 6375-1 Weather performance testing
- BS 6375-2 Strength and durability testing
- BS 6375-3 Additional performance characteristics testing
PAS24: 2022
PAS 24: 2022 – What is it?
PAS24: 2022 was produced by British Standards Institute (BSI) as a method of assessing the security performance requirements of external doors and window types. The levels and methods of attack experienced in the UK and associated with an opportunist burglar are specified. The burglary attempts covered by the standard are those which avoid noise and unnecessary risk. The time spent attempting to gain entry is limited to replicate the time pressures of an opportunist burglar.
