Security Doors Manufactured In The UK

DoorTechnik offer various levels of security doors. Depending on the perceived threat level, we have models designed to resist a range of threats, from opportunist attacks with minimal tools, to prolonged and determined attacks using heavy-duty power tools and the use of considerable force.

Security recommendations:

  • Open out doors are more secure than open in doors
  • Doors should be set back into a reveal, and not set flush with a buildings outer wall
  • Surface mounted locks are more secure than mortice locks
  • Exterior furniture should be minimised or avoided
  • The walls should be as secure as the door

No door can ever be totally secure. If enough time and noise is allowed, any door can be defeated with suitable tools, but following the guidelines above will help improve security.

  • For general use, our G15 and G20 models have proved robust in long term use.
  • Our G15 model has been successfully tested and certified to PAS24:2016 - Enhanced security performance requirements for doorsets and windows in the UK.
  • For more severe threats, the X-Door Security range has been successfully tested at security levels 2, 3 and 4.
  • For certified security, our X15-2 and X15-3 models have been approved to LPS 1175: Issue 7 Security Rating 2 and 3 respectively (LPCB certificate number 1084a).

Size and door furniture limitations do apply to all of our certified security doorsets, so please contact us for advice to help achieve your required specification.

Frequently asked questions

What security ratings do your steel doors have?

Our G15 steel door is certified to PAS 24:2016. For higher threats, the X15-2 and X15-3 models are approved to LPS 1175 Issue 7 Security Ratings 2 and 3 (LPCB certificate 1084a), and the X-Door range has been tested at security levels 2, 3 and 4.
PAS 24 is the enhanced security standard for doorsets and windows in UK dwellings and general commercial use, tested against opportunist attack. LPS 1175 is the Loss Prevention Certification Board standard with graded security ratings: SR2 replicates a determined opportunist using hand tools and SR3 a pre-meditated forced entry using tools chosen for the job, including battery power tools.
Hang it to open outwards, set it back into a reveal rather than flush with the outer wall, use surface-mounted locks rather than mortice locks, keep external furniture to a minimum, and make sure the surrounding wall is as secure as the door. No door is totally secure, but these steps make an attack slower and noisier.
