Physical Security

Doorsets tested

by Mark Rowe

Adams Rite, part of ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the door and physical security product firm, reports that it’s working with Kestrel Aluminium Systems to secure properties with doorsets tested to PAS24. That UK security standard is supported by Secured by Design on behalf of UK police.

Kestrel Aluminum Systems are supplying a range of properties including dwellings and commercial properties, with the thermally efficient aluminium single and double doorsets that have been proven to resist all PAS24 attacks. The doorsets have Adams Rite’s Sentinel M commercial multi-point locks, which includes the new three-star security rated cylinder platform.

Steven Shute, Managing Director at Kestrel Aluminium Systems, said: “Working with Adams Rite has allowed us to use ASSA ABLOY’s UKAS accredited test lab to ensure our components resisted all PAS24 attacks, without failure or opening. The testing included timed manual attack methods, hard and soft body impact tests, and mechanical load testing of 4500N, providing us with the confidence that our doorsets will not only conserve heat, but will also adequately protect the occupants and assets in a range of projects.”

And Tim Almond, OEM Commercial Manager for ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, said: “We are delighted to have such a longstanding working relationship with Kestrel Aluminum Systems, which enables us to help deliver the high level of security required across a number of buildings to reduce burglary. Sentinel M is a versatile solution that can be used in a variety of environments including hospitals, leisure facilities and commercial projects.”
