When it comes to safety and security in the home, doors matter more than you might think. At Pendle Doors, we know this better than anyone. As a UK-based door manufacturer with decades of experience, we take security seriously, especially when it comes to our PAS 24 Doors.
If you’re not familiar with PAS 24 doors, this guide will take you through everything you need to know.
PAS 24 is a security standard. It stands for Publicly Available Specification 24, and it’s all about making doors more secure. These tests are carried out by third-party experts and focus on how well a door can stand up to an attempted break-in.
There’s no middle ground with PAS 24, a door either passes or fails. If it passes, you know it meets a high standard of protection.
At Pendle Doors, we design, test and supply PAS 24 Doors that not only meet this standard, they exceed expectations in real-life use.
PAS 24 certification is a legal requirement for all new-build homes and flats under Approved Document Q of the Building Regulations. If you’re working on a new development or replacing old doors in a flat, PAS 24-certified flat entrance doors are a must.
Security aside, these doors must also be weather-tested. That means they’ll keep out wind, rain, and draughts too.
Each door is put through a set of strict physical tests. Here’s a quick look at what they include:
These tests are tough, but that’s the point. Our flat entrance doors pass them without fail.
All our PAS 24 doors can meet Secured by Design standards too. This is a police-backed initiative that focuses on crime prevention. If a product meets this level, it’s a strong sign of reliability and performance.
Of course, security is essential, but it’s not everything. Our PAS 24-certified doorsets also include:
