PAS 24 Tested Steel Door Installation for Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
he Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, one of the UK’s leading science and technology research facilities, approached Executive Locksmiths for a security upgrade to their building in Harwell. As a high-value establishment, it was crucial that a robust security solution be installed to prevent unauthorised access and minimise the risk of a break-in.
The existing steel door needed replacing, and the requirement was clear: a high-quality product to ensure maximum security while maintaining ease of use.
Solution Provided:
Our Locksmiths team provided a comprehensive solution that involved:
- Removal of the existing steel door and full replacement with a new PAS 24 tested steel door
- Integrated magnets for access control, allowing for seamless entry and exit while maintaining high-security standards
- Precision installation to ensure the door functions efficiently under continuous use, with no compromise to security
The PAS 24 certification ensures that the door meets rigorous tests for strength, durability, and resistance to forced entry, making it an ideal choice for a high-security environment like the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
Outcome & Benefits
The new PAS 24 tested steel door significantly reduced the risk of unauthorised entry, providing a robust physical barrier against potential break-ins.
The built-in magnets seamlessly integrate with the laboratory’s existing access control system, improving both security and operational efficiency.
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory team was highly satisfied with the work completed by Executive Locksmiths.
