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.”
