Security Doors Fitting Tools Required:

LPS 1175 security rating is awarded by the Loss Prevention Certification Board to products which meet their stringent testing criteria. It is a standard recognised by Insurance Companies, Local Authorities and Government agencies as well as many other Large Organisations.

The tests are carried out by various dedicated testing houses and the test criteria is rigorously enforced. This means the end user can be confident that the security equipment tested is fit for purpose. Starting at level 1, the higher the number the more rigorously the equipment has been tested.

Be aware that there are some doors on the market that appear to achieve various standards of security based on different levels of security. Some even claim to use the same tools to break in as used in the test. Self-testing by manufacturers, even if using the LPS criteria, means they are almost certainly are not as rigorous as the authorised testing we do.

The doors are put through a series of manual intervention attack tests using tools from the tool category appropriate to the products anticipated security rating.

Below is a simple chart showing the security rating, tools used, time to compromise the doors integrity and the time it took to do so. Essentially the rating equates to the time and tools used by independent engineers to ‘break in’.
