Security doors

They are the resistance classes in EN 1627. Each class assumes a more experienced attacker with more tools. RC2 assumes an opportunist with simple tools such as screwdrivers, pliers and wedges, RC3 adds a crowbar, RC4 adds saws, hammers and a cordless drill, and RC5 and RC6 add power tools. Choose the class from what sits behind the door and how long help takes to arrive.

The complete assembly is tested to three methods. EN 1628 applies static loads at points such as the corners and lock positions, EN 1629 applies dynamic impact to the leaf, and EN 1630 has a trained tester attack the door with the tool set for that class for a fixed working time. The door passes only if no opening large enough to get through is created.

Yes. An attacker goes for the easiest route, and a well-tested door in a weak wall simply moves the attack to the wall. EN 1627 sets requirements for the surrounding wall for each class, such as its material and thickness. Tell us how your walls are built and we will detail the frame fixings to suit, or flag where the wall needs upgrading.

Yes, with care. A combined fire and security door needs test evidence that covers both functions in the same construction. On escape routes the door must still open from the inside without a key, so emergency exit doors with security needs use panic or emergency exit hardware that keeps the outside locked while allowing free exit. Check the arrangement against your fire strategy early.

Lead time depends on quantity, resistance class, locking hardware and finish. Within Jordan, doors are typically delivered within 1 to 2 weeks; for export, lead time depends on quantity. Send us your door schedule, the resistance class required for each opening and details of the walls the doors will sit in, and we will confirm a programme with your quotation.
