Burglary

Burglary protection redefined.

Protection against burglary and the associated risk to life and limb has tended to increase in recent years. To ensure this function, we have developed our burglar-resistant doors. Due to the special design of the door, resistance class up to RC-4 is achieved with just one main lock.

Our products are manufactured using the latest technology and are tested according to the European standard EN 1627.

Facts

Highest protection: Burglar-resistant doors according to EN 1627 with resistance class up to RC-4 and a resistance time of up to 10 minutes offer effective protection against violent attacks.
Versatile technology: Our doors combine sound insulation, airtightness, driving rain tightness and wind load in a robust design made of 1,5 mm thick sheet steel.
Special areas of application: Ideal for particularly vulnerable entrance areas such as basement entrances and side entrances to private homes and company buildings to prevent unauthorized entry.

Product testing

The burglary protection tests according to EN 1627 assess the resistance of doors to attempted break-ins. The aim is to ensure that the doors resist attempted break-ins and prevent or delay access to protected areas. The test variants include:

Manual break-in attempts: Use of physical force and simple tools such as screwdrivers and crowbars.
Burglary attempts with tools: Use of special tools such as screwdrivers, pliers and hammers through to the use of electrical tools.

The test bench simulates real burglary conditions with a steel frame construction and measuring devices to monitor the forces. The resistance classes (RC) range from RC1 to RC6, with RC1 being the lowest and RC6 the highest burglary protection. The higher the class, the more resistant the door is to burglary attempts.

Resistance classes at a glance

RC-2	The opportunistic burglar tries to gain access using simple tools (e.g. screwdriver, pliers, wedges). He tries to use the screwdriver and wedges to pry open the door. Exposed hinges are attacked with a small handsaw. Resistance time: 3 minutes
RC-3	The burglar also has a crowbar, a second screwdriver and various hand tools (e.g. small hammer, pin driver, mechanical drill). He can exert more force with the crowbar. The drilling tool can be used to attack vulnerable locking devices. Resistance time: 5 minutes
RC-4	The experienced burglar also uses a heavy hammer, an axe, a chisel and a cordless drill, giving him a wider range of attack options. He is determined to gain entry and is willing to take greater risks. Resistance time: 10 minutes

The award "No Break" is a certificate or seal of approval issued by Association of the German Insurance Industry (GDV) It is used to label security products such as doors, windows or locks that are particularly burglar-resistant.
