Defining a True Security Door
How is a product genuinely judged as a "security door"? It is far too easy for standard doors with slightly upgraded multi-point locks to claim this title. However, the best industrial roller shutter doors rely on the whole package rather than just big locks. True security comes from curtain strength, robust side guides, secure building fittings, and reinforced attack points. It requires a high quality, tested design from the outset, rather than bolt on features added to a flimsy product.
LPS1175 Security Ratings Explained
In the UK, independent test houses rigorously evaluate security products to provide certified compliance. Doors are tested based on the time it takes to gain entry using specific tools, ranging from simple hand tools to high-powered grinders. This allows you to assess which level of protection best suits your property's location and environmental risk.
Our security-rated roller doors are graded on a sliding scale to meet these standards:
- SR1 and SR2 rated roller doors: Provide excellent baseline security and are available to purchase directly in our online shop.
- SR3 and SR4 models: Offer extreme protection against heavy tools and are priced on application.
- RC2 and RC3 models: European certified doors available for specific compliance requirements.
High Security Roller Doors
Higher rated security shutter doors often require specialist discussion to ensure the exact build specification and legal compliance. If you need advanced protection like an SR3 or SR4 rated door, or anything outside of our standard shop offerings, please email or call our team on 01933 448 850 for a bespoke quote.
When you need peace of mind, you must look for certified security rather than relying on a loose marketing term. Many insurers now demand that commercial and industrial doors have a minimum tested rating, including products accredited by the Secured by Design initiative. Choosing a certified roller door from Samson Doors guarantees:
- Peace of mind that your property is secure once the door is closed.
- High quality build components ensure better overall performance and longevity.
- Fully compliant documentation is provided to satisfy insurance requirements.
- Various ratings are available to suit the specific risk level of your environment.
Make sure your industrial door has proven certification rather than just the word "security" in the title.
