Changes in the methods of illegal forced entry
Applicable to new door sets, PAS 24 is due to
amended to include additional tools available to test engineers, making
the A.11 attack test even more onerous.
Additionally, in
recognition of the number of door sets, currently in existence that have
been produced without compliance to any security standards, the
hardware industry is responding through the development of TS007. Based
on the test methods of the forthcoming PAS 24 A.11, TS 007 sets
performance requirements for cylinders, and associated security
hardware, to provide a suitable vehicle for the certification of
products, that can demonstrate that they provide a high level of
resistance to all known forms of lock cylinder attack.
This new
standard has been jointly developed by the Door and Hardware Federation
and the Glass and Glazing Federation, following an industry consultation
process, and is based on performance, rather than prescriptive
requirements, ensuring consumers have the widest choice of certified
options available.
As a proactive member of the DHF,
grouphomesafe has been closely involved with the evolution of this
standard, and welcomes its imminent introduction. Customers of
Grouphomesafe can be assured of the most comprehensive range of
solutions to meet the forthcoming requirements of PAS 24 and TS007, with
