Having Secured by design gates means that your property is protected from burglaries and crime. This UK Police initiative recognises products that have been tested to relevant security standards. There are over 700 registered companies participating in the scheme.
What is gate in security?
The scheme aims to reduce crime by creating a safer environment. The Secured by Design program works closely with UK police forces, industry bodies, trade associations, and the construction industry. It works to improve security in new and refurbished homes, commercial premises, and public buildings.
The program was formed in 1989 to combat a rise in burglaries. Its members are companies that produce security products that have been tested to the police Preferred Specification. There are hundreds of different products that have achieved this level of certification.
The LPS 1175 issue 7 SR1 Specification is a standard for determining the burglary resistance of building components. Products that meet this standard have been certified by an independent third-party certification body. This ensures that they can be safely installed and maintained.
Whether you need a new gate for your home or business, or want to upgrade the existing ones, there are a wide range of options available. In addition to these, Procter Fencing Systems can also install additional security measures to your site. In addition to the security rated range, Procter offers powered gates that are installed with access controls. In addition, the company can work with its sister divisions to provide a complete security solution.
