DescriptionThe PASGuard is a made to measure, double skinned steel, Secure by Design approved and PAS24 rated steel doorset providing certified security protection and suitable for residential and commercial applications where aesthetics might also be more relevant.
Available in over 200 RAL standard colours and also many wood effect and metallic finishes the door can also have pressed designs in the steel where required so you have a door label which isn’t just a flat steel exterior.
Available with a wide range of hardware options and vision panels this door is a great mid range security doorset for peace of mind in a proper construction and a tested ability to resist attack.
The door can be used for both external and internal applications and would typically include a multi point locking system approved for use with the PAS 24 standard.
ApplicationAny residential, commercial or industrial building requiring PAS24 as part of the door compliance with building regulations or insurance.
Typical applications might include entrance doors for apartments and flats and even houses, but also communal areas and social housing. Plant rooms, garage conversions, offices, retail outlets and any general building which is built new.
PAS24 is the preferred specification for enhanced security performance requirements for doorsets and windows in the UK.
It sets out the minimum doorset requirements and acceptable test criteria to resist attack from opportunistic crime.
Not only do these doors offer greater levels of security, they are also manufactured to higher standards with stronger overall integrity and components used and therefore always tend to have greater longevity through their durability.
Since 2015, part Q of the Building Regulations has required doors and windows fitted to new dwellings to meet the requirements of PAS24. Whilst this does not currently cover replacement doors and windows, the Defender PASguard is a clear choice to bring security and peace of mind to residents and property owners alike.

Measure
A steel doorset is always ordered by the OVERALL dimensions including the door leaf and outer sub fixing frame with no tolerances allowed for. Most people would generally allow 5mm tolerance all the way around the door, but it all depends on how square or true your aperture is on site. This is up to your judgement based on the aperture quality.
This would mean if your structural opening size is measured as 1000mm width and 2100mm height the door and frame ought to be 990mm wide and 2090mm high with the frame and any threshold included.
Always measure the top, middle and bottom of your aperture width and the left and right hand side for the height and if possible do a measure to make sure the opening is square as well..
Always use millimetres for measuring as this is how we relay back the ordering dimensions to you for checking and approving a drawing for your order.
We will always send a drawing for approval before manufacturing commences.
