Aluminium Doors

Durations Thermally Broken Aluminium door range features superb quality, high security, and strength that you naturally expect from an aluminium door.

Our Beaufort Aluminium doors have been tested to PAS23/24 which is the current standard for Secured by Design.

Beaufort Doors PAS the Test  (from www.theglazine.com) Beaufort Secure Design’s aluminium door profiles have achieved PAS 23 / 24 approval – the industry’s most stringent performance and security standard. The relevant tests were conducted on a range of full size aluminium doors from the Beaufort system at Winkhaus Testing Ltd, a registered UKAS laboratory. The doors used for testing were fabricated by Essex-based Duration Windows Ltd, an ISO 9002 accredited company and member of Beaufort’s Approved Fabricator Scheme. PAS 23 covers a range of general performance criteria including weather resistance and basic security, whereby products are subjected to a 50,000 cycle test to assess the durability of the door leaf, frame, hinges and locks. PAS 24 relates to enhanced security levels including hard/soft body impact, mechanical load tests and the ability to withstand manual attack. During the three-day testing procedure, Beaufort aluminium doors were mounted into a test rig and various loads applied, both laterally and horizontally, to simulate the forces of an attempted break in. Also, in a human intervention test, experienced testers tried to use their knowledge to gain entry.
