Castle Range
Castle AV1
100% solid hardwood core manufactured from lamels securely bonded together to form a laminated construction. Plywood each side forms either the final facings for a paint quality door for external use or the substrate for the final facings of veneer, laminate or PVC for internal applications. Doors are lipped on all four edges in 6mm hardwood as standard.
Castle AV2
Construction is identical to the AV1 but with the addition of 1mm thick Zintec steel sheets beneath the plywood facings to provide increased resistance to physical attack.
Castle AV3
This construction utilises the AV1 core and plywood substrate but is totally encapsulated in 1.2mm steel on both faces and all edges. This specification is ideal where very severe levels of vandalism and physical abuse are expected. Primer finish is supplied as standard, although powder-coated faces are also available on request.
Armador Range
The three doorset designs incorporate various arrangements of ballistic-resistant material. As with the Castle AV range, final facings can be plywood for paint, veneer, laminate or PVC. Doors are lipped on all four edges in 6mm hardwood as standard (10mm hang edge lipping on Armador Class 3). The ballistic-resistant core prohibits the morticing of locks and other items on site. Therefore Leaderflush Shapland must be issued with details of all recessed ironmongery for factory preparation.
Alarm wiring – Securidor option
Integral alarm wiring to BS 4737 : Parts 1 and 3 is incorporated behind external facings and linked to the proprietary alarm system. The wiring is designed to give an early warning of the doors being attacked or of unauthorised access. The Securidor system can be included in all Leaderflush Shapland high security doorsets and is connected via either a concealed loop (non-rated only) or wired conductor hinge to the frame. The assembly can also accommodate a magnetic contact in the head to monitor the open/closed status of the door.
External applications
All security doors are suitable for both internal and external usage.
