Security & Hardware

One of the main reasons why we upgrade our windows and doors is to ensure that we provide protection to our family and home.

When choosing your new windows and doors, you want to ensure that you are making the right decision to provide the required level of protection for your family and home.

An ADVANCE 70 window or door gives you the confidence that your family and home will be protected to a high standard.

UK Burglary Statistics

In 76% of cases, the burglar will enter through a door, of which...

  • 33% by forcing the lock or cylinder
  • 15% through an unlocked door
  • 8% by breaking the door or door panel
  • 6% enter the property with a key

In 20% of cases the burglar will enter through a window, of which...

  • 8% force the window lock or latch
  • 6% cut through or break the glass
  • 6% will enter through an already open window

This means that 41% of burglaries are owing to inferior windows and doors and their locking systems... Don't become a statistic!

PAS 24 Enhanced Security

Protecting your family and your home...

ADVANCE 70 Windows & Doors use high security locking systems, tested to PAS 24 & Secured By Design standards...

An inferior window or door locking system can be manipulated, snapped, picked, drilled or bumped to gain access to your property in less than 30 seconds! This is why our ADVANCE 70 uses tried and tested security hardware on our windows and doors.

So what are my Enhanced Security options?

An Enhanced Security option is compliant with PAS 24 and Secured by Design. This means that the complete and fully manufactured window or door has been rigorously and independently tested by a UKAS accredited test house.

The PAS 24 standard is an extra security measure to ensure windows and doors are up to the security standards, in case you do so happen to have a break in. The testing is based on a burglar trying to manipulate a cylinder, cut-through a slab or panel or force the lock and/or hinge side of a door. On a window forcing entry through the locking points using a selection of tools including ‘crow bars’, screwdrivers, chisels, drills and blades.

Secured by Design (SBD) is the official police security initiative that works to improve the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings to provide safe places to live, work, shop and visit.

SBD’s product based accreditation scheme – the Police Preferred Specification - provides a recognised standard for all security products that can deter and reduce crime.
