ASSA ABLOY
Security Doors, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening
solutions, has delivered a successful security testing day in partnership with
BRE.
Held at
the Security Doors factory in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, the day saw a
fantastic turn-out of security professionals who witnessed various methods of
attack on both steel and timber doorsets.
The event
consisted of an overview of the LPS 1175 test standard, a comprehensive factory
tour and a practical demonstration that showed 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.”
