Intruder Alert -You Won't Get Past The TD68

The TD68 aluminium commercial door test rig

A commercial door from has passed the STS202 test, making it one of the most secure aluminium commercial doors on the market.

Jeff Pearson, Sales & Marketing Director at Jack Aluminium explains more about the TD68: “For a growing number of architects and specifiers, PAS24 accreditation isn’t enough. There is real demand for an aluminium commercial door set that had passed the STS202 standard and as we already had the robust, secure TD68 door, it made sense to continue pushing it.

 

 “The STS202 test is brutal and focuses on continuous attacks on the glazing and the beading as well as attacks on the locking systems with large jemmies.”

The great news for fabricators?

There is no difference in the door fabrication process. No additional locks, no additional rebates, no additional design solutions were applied – it’s the standard TD68 door.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to the team at RED Systems in Neston, who identified that this higher security standard was becoming more and more prevalent in the marketplace," continues Pearson. Like us, they were fully confident that the TD68 system could cope with the rigours of this test. The test doors were fabricated by the expert services of Paul Evans Architectural in Leeds who as always did a superb job of manufacturing the TD68 door sets for the test.”

“STS202 is another important standard to add to the long list of accreditations that the TD68 holds - it’s the ideal solution on projects where higher security standards are being specified.”
