Secured by Design (SBD) has recognised timber door manufacturer JELD-WEN for reaching 25 years of membership with the official police security initiative.
Doors accredited by SBD demonstrate an enhanced level of resistance against opportunistic break-ins to provide peace of mind.
Certification requires PAS24 testing by an independent third-party from a United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) authority, which includes rigorous assessments measuring resistance against impact, hardware attack, manipulation, along with testing for endurance.
Product and marketing director for JELD-WEN UK, Lisa Ward, said: “Ensuring the highest standards of security are built into our doorsets is an absolute priority for JELD-WEN. With rigorous research and development processes backed up by third-party testing, we take every step to ensure optimal standards – and ensure that this has been independently verified.
“Doors and the need for security are inseparable, and in aligning with Secured by Design for more than two decades we have demonstrated our commitment to keeping this at the forefront of our product offering.
“We recognise the work SBD does in establishing and reinforcing standards in security for both residential and business properties and are proud to have been a member for the past 25 years.”
