Adams Rite, part of Assa Abloy Security Solutions, has worked with Kestrel Aluminium Systems to produce new thermally efficient commercial aluminium single and double doorsets, ‘suitable for high specification commercial projects’, tested to a key UK security standard.
The doorsets were tested to PAS24, using the Adams Rite Sentinel M commercial multi-point lock incorporating the new 3-star securityrated cylinder platform, at Assa Abloy’s accredited test laboratory. They successfully resisted all PAS24 attacks, having undergone timed manual attack methods, hard and soft body impact tests, and mechanical load testing of 4500 N at each locking point without component failure or opening.
Mike Cresswell, technical manager, Kestrel Aluminium Systems, said: “We’ve manufactured this doorset in line with the changes to Building Regulation Document L. It is proven to have a low rate of heat loss, ensuring that it is energy-efficient in keeping with the Building Regulations relating to the Conservation of Fuel and Power. We now feel confident that the doorset will not only conserve heat, but will also adequately protect occupants and assets in a range of commercial projects.”
