LOCKIT-SAFE JOIN SECURED BY DESIGN

» MARKET LEADER IN THE design , fabrication and installation of secure cycle stands , shelters , compounds and cycle hubs Lockit-Safe is one of the latest companies to join the official police security initiative , Secured by Design ( SBD ).
Lockit-Safe joins SBD with a number of bicycle and motorcycle security products having achieved the Police Preferred Specification for their security features , including the first and only
two-tier cycle rack that has achieved SBD accreditation . Two-tier cycle parking is one of the fastest growing cycle parking solutions in recent years , with environments such as rail stations , where space is at a premium , embracing this solution allowing double the cycle parking spaces for their commuters .
The UK Cycle Parking Standard guidance was published to enable people purchasing , installing and
managing cycle parking to identify appropriate products and installations as even where cycle parking is provided , there can often be issues with quality . Too often what is procured is not well designed , inclusive , durable , or correctly installed , making it ineffective for the users and the standard seeks to remedy this .

» DOOR & HARDWARE Federation ( DHF ) has announced that it has launched the revised technical specification , DHF TS 008:2022 , Enhanced Security and General Requirements for Letter Plate Assemblies and Slide Through Boxes . This publication supersedes DHF TS 008:2015 , which is now withdrawn .
The technical specification document provides a
means of evaluation against opportunist attack and defines the classification required for testing for a compliant product , in particular , letter plate assemblies that enable mail to pass directly through a door or door side panel .
The specification applies to complete letter plate assemblies and slide through boxes placed on the market , either fully assembled or as a kit .
DHF ’ s General Manager and Secretary , Michael Skelding comments :
“ To meet the constantly varying challenges of burglary and theft it is important to update security standards such as TS 008 . Manufacturers will be upgrading their products to meet the new standard ; we hope that , by setting this new benchmark for performance , we will ultimately be helping
to reduce opportunities for burglary and theft throughout the UK .”
