Security and aesthetic requirements brought together to complement the surroundings
Secure in the knowledge that your doorsets perform
Introducing high security doorsets
A wide choice of high performance security doorsets has been developed by Leaderflush Shapland for situations requiring resistance against forced entry, vandalism and more serious burglary or armed attacks. These are organised into two product ranges:
- Anti-vandal – the Castle AV range with burglary resistance, physical attack performance and blast resistance.
- Ballistic Resistant – Armador range offering three levels of ballistic protection to the appropriate British Standard.
Both ranges are offered with the Securidor anti-intruder option of integral alarm wiring linked to the intruder alarm system. The special performance of these doorsets is not visually apparent, as both ranges have been specifically designed to accommodate a variety of facings to match other Leaderflush Shapland performance doorsets.
Security – physical attack
Leaderflush Shapland has developed a physical attack test procedure, which reflects the considerable experience gained from our involvement with a wide range of clients and specialist bodies having a particular interest in security.
Security – ballistic resistance
Armador door leaf constructions have been successfully tested to the ballistic attack levels given in BS 5051 : Part 1. Further information, including details of other standards and level of threat covered, are available from our Technical Services Department.
Security – blast protection
All our blast doorsets are tested in accordance with the Home Office Protected Spaces test criteria. Performance levels of C25 and C15 have been achieved in various configurations. Specific requirements should be discussed with our Technical Services Department.
Fire resistance
Selected security doorsets have been subjected to BS 476 : Part 22 : 1987 fire testing and can be certificated to FD30 and FD60 fire resistance. Certificated options include hardwood and steel frames, concealed intumescents and security glazing. All fire rated products are manufactured strictly in accordance with the BWF-CERTIFIRE scheme. Please contact our Technical Services Department for further details.
Sound reduction
Due to the increased density and composite nature of our range of security doorsets, a high level of sound reduction can be achieved where appropriate seals are incorporated.
