Doorset tests equivalent to ‘a lifetime of opening’

EnduraCor, the Leaderflush Shapland doorset core, is “one hundred times more durable than multi-layered chipboard”, according to a recent independent test.

Undertaken by Warrington APT, the test “went beyond” the standard EN1192 soft and heavy body impact tests “to more accurately reflect the everyday rigours doorsets endure in harsh environments like schools and hospitals”. The cyclic testing “exceeded the requirements of EN1191 by one million cycles” (“easily equating to the number of door opening occurrences throughout the lifespan of a heavily populated building”).
