CUT THE CONFUSION WITH SECURITY ADVICE
Standards and legislation surrounding windows and doors are constantly
evolving, and Yale understands the importance of complying with the very latest
developments. As a result, the team is on hand to offer expert advice to ensure
those in the industry are manufacturing and installing compliant products.
» » ONE SUCH STANDARD
that has recently been revised is
PAS24:2016. The updated door
standard now stipulates that any
external doors to be fitted with
a letterplate must meet the new
criteria set out in TS008. In
order to meet the TS008 testing
requirements, the letterplate must
eliminate the risk of a potential
burglar gaining access by means
of physical force or through
‘fishing’ and unlocking of the
door through the letterplate
aperture.
Notably, this is being enforced
by police approved scheme,
Secured by Design, which is
making it compulsory for all
OEM license holders to meet the
revised PAS24:2016 standard.
This will drive demand for high
end letterplate solutions and
create an increased awareness of
the TS008 standard across the
industry.
PAS 24 is a primary reference
in the Building Regulation’s
Approved Document Q, which
relates to security in residential
properties.
