Commercial aluminium doors have remained largely unchanged over the last 20 or so years. The original concept of a pivoting aluminium door hung on a concealed overhead closer and threshold pivot remains largely the same.
Jack Aluminium Systems’ TD68 commercial door has passed the stringent testing of PAS24:2012
There have been improvements such as polyamide thermal breaks, the availability of dual colour and the development of anti finger trap hinge stile.
Jack Aluminium Systems launches its TD68 Mag Lock Door and achieves PAS 24 security standard.
The TD68 Door from Jack Aluminium is a new commercial door that is thermally broken and designed to be a reliable high traffic commercial aluminium door.
It benefits from several features over standard commercial doors such as:
- U Values as low as 1.7Wm2K
- Adams Rite high security Sentinel Lock
- High security glazing bead designed to resist attack
- Easy fabrication and installation
- Special design for concealed vertical rod panic bars
What is PAS 24 Security Standard?
This is a security standard PAS24:2012 Enhanced Security Performance Requirements for doorsets and windows in the UK.
This means that External doors (and windows where applicable) offer a level of security intended for homes and commercial buildings that may be exposed to risk of forced entry. This standard is also covered by British Standards BS6375 Parts 1, 2 and 3.
PAS 24, is a minimum standard like any other. There will be doors that will exceed the minimum requirements of the test but a minimum standard encourages products to be designed and engineered to meet current testing methods and certification.
The PAS 24 standard involves using a combination of jemmy force to try and open the door using two different forces, the maximum being 450kg. Another part of the test involves using various specialist tools to try to again prise open the door as well as using weights thrown against the door to cause further damage.
How does Jack Aluminium’s commercial door meet PAS24:2012?
High security hardware is a critical component of any door and indeed its ability to pass PAS 24. Jack aluminium have incorporated some of the best locks available, namely the Assa Abloy Armlock 281 magnetic lock.
Magnetic locks automatically lock doors when they are shut and hold them locked by means of a magnetic force. The high quality magnetic lock available such as the Armlock 281 has a holding force of over 1000kg which is more than ample for an aluminium door, but demonstrates the high strength of a magnetic lock.
You will see magnetic locks widely used in banks, secure buildings and other premises where maximum security is required when the door is locked and to help prevent forced entry.
Whilst commercial doors have always been available with high quality and very secure locking systems, the TD68 commercial door from Jack Aluminium will be ideal in high security premises where a reliable yet robust entrance door is required.
