For a new-build or conversion in County Armagh with a security condition attached, send us the specification before we quote so the right system is chosen from the start.
Ask your insurer whether a tested door or particular locks are a requirement on your County Armagh policy, so the quote can be specified to suit.
- An anti-snap key cylinder is designed to resist the snapping attack used on many older euro cylinders, protecting the lock itself.
- A multipoint lock throws several hooks or bolts into the frame when the handle is locked, spreading the load so the panel cannot be forced at a single point.
- Laminated glass has a tough interlayer that holds the pane together when struck, so even a cracked panel resists an attempt to break through.

What is PAS 24?
PAS 24 is the UK enhanced security test standard for doorsets, including sliding doors. A door tested to it has been subjected to timed manual attacks with hand tools, mechanical loading of the panels and locks, and tests on how the glass is held. It applies to the complete doorset as tested, not to individual handles or locks on their own.
How do anti-lift devices work on a sliding door?
Anti-lift devices are blocks or bolts fitted in the head of the frame or on the sliding panel that fill the gap above the panel when the door is closed. Without them, some older sliding panels could be lifted up and out of the bottom track. With them, the panel cannot be raised far enough to clear the track.
What is Secured by Design?
Secured by Design is a police-backed initiative that sets security standards for homes and products, and its requirements for doors build on PAS 24. Products and developments can gain recognition under the scheme. We are not a Secured by Design member company; if a project specifies it, tell us at the start so we can check what the specification requires.
