» LEE HARRIS, CONCEPT DOORS,
said: “We are so pleased to now have this
accreditation in place. It is our aim to provide
products to the best of our ability with safety
and security being our goal. Now having the
dual certification in place, shows we are doing
our upmost to do this.”
SBD Development Officer Lyn Poole
said: “It’s great news that Concept Doors
now have a dual certified Timber door
range. Dual certified means that it is third
party certificated to enhanced security
(PAS 24:2016) and Fire rating FD30 and
FD60 depending on leaf material and some
ironmongery. All internal corridor flat
entrance doorsets should be dual certificated
for peace of mind.”

Concept Secure Internal Timber
doorsets provide peace of mind that the
people, property and assets within the
building are protected from opportunist
thieves, vandalism, attack, fire and smoke.
In order to achieve independent, thirdparty
certification, Concept submitted
sample doorsets for testing to a UKAS
accredited testing facility, with the tests
conducted demonstrating the doorsets
ability to resist fire for at least 30 or 60
minutes, as well as an intruder’s attempts
to use stealth to gain entry to PAS 24 test
standards.
Concept Doors was founded in 2003
as a supplier of pre-hung doorsets to the
construction industry. The company’s
innovative and dynamic approach to the
business has since seen year on year growth
with Concept Doors supplying over
40,000 doorsets to a variety of different
clients and projects in 2012.
SBD is part of Police Crime Prevention
Initiatives (PCPI), a police owned
organisation that works on behalf of the
Police Service to deliver a wide range of
crime prevention and demand reduction
initiatives across the UK. PCPI is a notfor-profit
organisation and Board Members
include senior police officers from
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland who control and direct the work
PCPI carries out on behalf of the Police
Service.
SBD plays a significant crime prevention
role in the planning process to design out
crime in a wide range of building sectors.
It has achieved some significant success
including one million homes built to SBD
standards with reductions in crime of up
to 87%.
SBD have many partner organisations,
ranging from the Home Office,
Ministry of Housing, Communities
& Local Government and the Police
Service through to local authorities,
housing associations, developers and
manufacturers and work closely with
standards and certification bodies to
ensure that their publicly available
standards actually meet the needs of the
police and public alike.
Products must be subject to rigorous
testing and additionally be fully certificated
by an independent, third-party certification
body accredited by the United Kingdom
Accreditation Service (UKAS) before being
allowed to carry the SBD logo - this is the
only way for companies to obtain police
recognition for security-related products in
the UK.
Third-party certification ensures doors
not only meet stringent security standards,
but continue to be manufactured to a
consistent quality through regular audit
checks.
