Lock, doorset approval

by Mark Rowe

Pickersgill-Kaye Ltd, the Leeds-based manufacturer of locks, has received Loss Prevention Standard LPS 1175: Issue 7 – SR3 and SR4 security rating approval. The accreditation is for the HS100 Series surface mount multipoint locking range after tests with Kent based high security steel doorset manufacturer Sunray Engineering Ltd.

Sunray Engineering Ltd, who specialise in security doorsets, oversaw the accreditation with the Loss Prevention Certification Board, which took several months to test the large number of locking and doorset configurations required. The SR3 and SR4 security ratings apply to Pickersgill-Kaye’s single and multipoint lock versions when fitted to Sunray Engineering’s “ExcluDoor” single and double security doorset range.

Sunray points to Pickersgill-Kaye’s modular design concept allowing interchangeability between single and multipoint versions. This provides the companies add consistency in appearance for users.

Both doorsets and locks have been manufactured to protect national infrastructure and high risk commercial installations. They provide the makers claim various operational and functional door opening requirements while conforming to the latest emergency and panic escape standard regulations.

Sunray’s Managing Director David Evans says: “We are delighted to become the first door manufacturer to achieve a full range of LPS 1175 level three and four approvals for our doors fitted with Pickersgill-Kaye’s single and multi-point locking systems. This accreditation not only allows our client base access to the considerable locking option range available but also allows consideration to be given to the aesthetics of the complete end user product offering, which is becoming increasingly relevant and important through architect driven specifications.”

Available in surface mounted and mortice versions, Pickersgill-Kaye’s portfolio of single and multipoint locking systems are designed and manufactured entirely in the UK. Pickersgill-Kaye’s High Security Locking Product Manager Mark Tailby said: “The accreditation covers single and multipoint locking versions up to Loss Prevention Standard LPS 1175: Issue 7 Security Rating 4.

“We conducted a series of independent tests beforehand to assure ourselves everything met the standards required before embarking on the full test programme with Sunray Engineering and it is the first time we have attained approval to SR3 and SR4 levels on a complete suite of high security locking products with one door manufacturer. This includes aingle and double doorset configurations.

“Quality is the hallmark of both manufacturers’ products and Pickersgill-Kaye is delighted to be associated with Sunray Engineering, who are generally considered the UK’s leading steel security doorset manufacturer.” See www.pkaye.co.uk.
