Secured by Design Doors
Crime Reduction and Responsibility
Secured by Design (SBD) is the UK police flagship initiative supporting the principles of designing out crime. Supported and managed by the Association of Chief Police Officers, the initiative has achieved significant successes as demonstrated by research carried out by Huddersfield University. This shows that residents living in SBD developments experience between 54% and 67% less crime.
All local authorities have a responsibility under Section 17 of the Crime & Disorder Act 1998 to take account of community safety and crime reduction in all aspects of their duties.
Secured by Design Licensed Products
Essential to the SBD scheme are Licensed Products which are successfully tested to meet the relevant Police Preferred Specifications. The Specifications for doors are PAS 23-1:1999, which is a performance standard that certifies that a doorset is fit for purpose; and PAS 24-1:2007 which covers enhanced security performance requirements for door assemblies. To ensure compliance the IG Secured by Design approved range of doors are third party accredited by the British Board of Agrément (BBA).
PAS 24-1:2007 is an attack test standard that certifies that a door, frame, lock and hardware set has withstood a series of physical tests based on common methods of burglary using defined sets of tools and attack time.
