The first testing programme on double doorsets to meet a police anti-crime initiative has been completed by Chiltern Dynamics.

Chiltern’s testing of JCK Joinery’s fully-glazed double doorset to the principles of PAS 23 and PAS 24 has been accepted by the Association of Chief Police Officers Crime Prevention Initiative (ACPO) for its Secured by Design scheme.

Tests included simulated attacks with a sledge hammer, shoulder charge, crowbars and glazing removal.

Chiltern Dynamics and ACPO hope other manufacturers will test their double doors to the standards.
