Physical Security

Factory test day

by Mark Rowe

ASSA ABLOY Security Doors, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the door and physical security product company, has delivered a testing day with BRE. At the Security Doors factory in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, security people witnessed various methods of attack on steel and timber doorsets.

The day featured an overview of the LPS 1175 test standard, a factory tour and a demonstration on the difference between certified and non-certified security doors.

Ian Broadley, Business Development Manager for ASSA ABLOY Security Doors said: “We hosted this event to help illustrate the difference between investing in a certificated product versus a product that may look similar visually, but can be compromised very easily when put to the test. A test rig was set up at our factory, housing two steels doors and two timber doors. The BRE team used various methods of attack to demonstrate how they were able to defeat the doors that were not built to meet LPS 1175 test standards.

“We received a great deal of positive feedback from attendees, which included security consultants, end users, police, and government personnel. Attendees commented on how thought-provoking it was to witness just how quickly un-certified doors could be compromised.”

ASSA ABLOY Security Doors adds that it’s the only UK company to manufacture steel and timber security doorsets to both LPS 1175 Commercial and CPNI HM Government standards. Visit www.assaabloy.co.uk/SecurityDoors.
