Security rated
Aluminium systems company, Blyweert Beaufort Aluminium, can now offer the specification market a commercial door package tested and certified to the Building Research Establishment’s (BRE) LPS 1175 (Security Rating 2).
Having undergone rigorous and prolonged intruder attacks using a variety of tools at the BRE, the Blyweert Beaufort commercial door has proved resistant in every element.
The LPS 1175 (SR2) approved door was fitted with Adam Rite's new Sentinel 6 mortise mechanical deadlock, specifically designed for aluminium doors and offering high level security due to the combined strength of a bar bolt and anti-spread feature of the hook bolt.
Russell Yates, Beaufort's technical director, said: "We're delighted with the impressive test results and that we can now offer the first and only accredited LPS 1175 (SR2) and Secured By Design door package to the market.”
Speaking on behalf of BRE Global, Richard Flint said: "Unlike other standards, LPS 1175 allows the tester to consider all aspects of the product with a wide array of tools.”
This includes the glazing and the manner in which the product is installed which provides a very real test for products, one which only 5% of products tested pass.
