Forced entry into a warehouse in my neighbourhood resulted in the burglary of valuable computer hardware worth thousands of pounds. The incident took place a couple of weeks ago and the culprits are yet to be identified. I felt sorry for the warehouse owner, at the same I started fearing for the security of my workshop that has CNC machines installed. I started searching for a secure door that can keep my workshop and the machines protected from burglary. After analysing and research I came across the level 5 doors. Before the installation, I wanted to learn about its technical and functional details. Here is what I found out.
Security Mechanism – Technology for Protection
The burglars at the warehouse had used high tech electric tools to drill holes around the locks to break open the door and make an entry. Unfortunately, the door was made of hardwood and it was very old. So, it could not withstand the sheer force of electric cutting tools. I thought of testing the level 5 door for this kind of attack.
The technician took out an electric saw and tried to cut the steel door. But it made no impact on the door in any way. Then he tried heavy mechanical tools like hammer and axe on the door. It remained as solid as before. The final test was with an explosive that the burglars normally use. Still, the door remained rock hard without moving an inch. These tests satisfied me about the solid protection it provides.
Steel Door Thickness – the key to Strength and Stability
Reinforced processed steel with a thickness of 1.5mm to 2mm can be very hard to break open, no matter how much mechanical and electrical tools you use. The internal mechanism of the door is hardened to withstand all kinds of attacks including the hammers and crowbars.
Single Doors Design – Ideal for Industries
Industrial installations like warehouses, chemical processing plants, hazardous material storage units, and high-security zones need to be protected from multiple types of attacks. The level 5 doors are set to be ideal for such constructions.
Try using level 5 security for the flood protection doors in your home. Of course, it may not be possible to simulate flooding to test the door. But you can read the customer reviews and testimonials about such doors. Try installing such a door in your home and see the difference in security levels.
In some cases, you may need the level-5 security for the internal access doors also. You can consider the locker rooms in a bank. They need protection from attacks. The commercial establishments like jewellery shops, antique shops, and others also need level-5 security.
British Standards – Quality for Security
You have to ensure the level 5 doors conform to the British Standards (BS) from the manufacturing level to the forging, finishing and painting procedures.
