APPROVED DOCUMENT
Q: SECURITY
Approved Document Q
covers the requirements
for secure doors and
windows and provides
detail on the relevant
ironmongery.
Doors and windows will
meet the requirements
of Q1 if they can resist
physical attack by a casual
and opportunistic burglar
by being both sufficiently
robust and fitted with
appropriate hardware.
All doorsets, including
those for garages and
communal entrances that
provide access into a
dwelling or into a building
containing a dwelling
should be a secure
doorset. Secure doorsets
should be manufactured
to a design that meets the
security requirements of
one of the following:
• PAS24:2012
• STS 201 Issue 5:2013
– Certisecure
• LPS1175 Issue 7 2010
security rating 2
• STS 202 Issue 3 2011
burglary rating 2
• LPS 2081 Issue 1 2015
security rating B
Ground floor basement
windows and easily
accessible rooflights
should be “secure
windows.” Secure windows
should be manufactured
to a design that meets the
security requirements of
the following:
• PAS24:2012
• STS 204 Issue 3:2012
– Certisecure
• LPS1175 Issue 7 2010
security rating 1
• LPS 2081 Issue 1 2015
security rating A
Further advice is
available for both doors
and windows in Secured
by Design’s New Homes
2014.
Approved Document Q
also gives specific detail on
timber secure doorsets as
these fall outside the scope
of the aforementioned
standards. As well as
detailing timber and glazing,
the appropriate standards
for hardware and locking
devices are also referenced.
This includes:
• BS 3621: Key locking
both sides
• BS 8621: Non-key
locking on internal
face
• BS 10621: Non-key
locking on internal door
face but with external
locking over-ride
facility
• PAS 3621: Key locking
both sides for multipoint
locks
• PAS 8621: Non-key
locking on internal face
for multipoint locks
• PAS 10621: Non-key
locking on internal door
face but with external
locking over-ride facility
for multipoint locks
The Approved Documents
cover England and
Wales, however there
are equivalents to these
in Scotland (Technical
Handbooks), Northern
Ireland (Technical Booklets),
and Republic of Ireland
(Technical Guidance
Documents). These are not
identical to their English
equivalents, therefore
they should be studied in
detail when specifying or
supplying material within
any of these jurisdictions.
