Navigating the New PAS24 Standards for Door Security

Fabricators, do your doorsets meet the current PAS 24:2022+A1:2024 security standard?

The landscape of door security continues to evolve, with new, more aggressive break-in methods emerging. To combat these threats, industry standards have been raised, most notably with the implementation of the PAS24 Amendment 2024, which updates to PAS24:2022+A1:2024. This signifies a significant advancement in new PAS24 testing methods for doors.

What Does PAS24:2022+A1:2024 Mean for You?

 The British Standards Institution (BSI) has revised PAS 24 to address the latest security challenges. This standard sets enhanced security performance requirements for doorsets and windows, ensuring they offer a level of security suitable for dwellings and other buildings exposed to comparable risk. Specifically,  PAS 24:2022+A1:2024 introduces more stringent testing to address emerging attack methods.

Key Changes and Impact:

Tougher Testing: The new standards mean your doorsets must withstand more rigorous attacks, including new twisting and thermal attack methods.

Compliance is Crucial: Meeting these updated standards is essential for maintaining your door sets' high level of security and ensuring your customers' peace of mind.

September 2024 Deadline: The updated standards, including PAS24:2022+A1:2024, came into full effect in September 2024.

Cylinders Compatible with New PAS24 Amendment 2024

Fabricators are asking, "What cylinder is compatible with new PAS24 standard September 2024?" To comply, you need cylinders designed to pass these tougher tests.

Armis 3-star cylinders are specifically engineered to meet the revised standards including: 3-star (TS007-1), PAS24: 2022+A1:2024, Sold Secure Diamond and Secured By Design. These super-tough cylinders feature cutting-edge patented technology called ALPS (Always Locked protection System), which has been rigorously tested and proven to resist drilling, picking, bumping, snapping, and the new twisting and thermal attacks. 

Unlike many 3-star cylinders, ALPs technology in Armis provides instant security the moment the key is withdrawn without needing an attack to activate its defences. Clever exhaust ports expel harmful substances to help prevent lock failure. In the event of a twist attack, the unique rotator engages the TwistTrap, guaranteeing an 'Always Locked' status. In the event of a snapping attack, SnapStop immediately blocks access to the lock's core to prevent further tampering.

Using these cylinders ensures your door sets continue to meet the latest security benchmarks.
