Choosing secured by design doors means investing in safety that responds to the latest burglary trends.
The hinges included with our secured by design doors meet the requirements of PAS 24:2022+A1:2024 and BS 6375, forming part of a fully compliant door system. The security pin is concealed with a grub screw, preventing unauthorised access through lifting of outward-opening composite doors.
All Endurance secured by design doors are double glazed with 6.8mm laminated safety glass. This glazing design meets BSEN1279 standards, offering complete door protection. All sealed units are secured using a cassette glazing system, independently tested and approved to PAS 23/24 standards, ensuring your door maintains its integrity against forced entry.

Our HomeView Door Designer offers a simple to follow step by step process, enabling you to construct your ideal composite door and see how it looks on your home.
With 73% of household burglaries occurring via the front door, security is central to every secured by design door we produce. Each door undergoes rigorous testing designed to simulate the most common burglary techniques, ensuring that your door provides anti-burglary performance in real-world scenarios.
Even when subjected to extreme force, such as a sledgehammer strike, these doors continue to perform, offering ultimate peace of mind. Durability testing includes opening, closing, and unlocking cycles up to 50,000 times, reflecting the typical lifespan of a door. This means that Endurance doors not only protect you now but continue to protect your home for many years.
Endurance secured by design doors feature a solid timber core made from 17 engineered timber laminates. Using Kerto laminated veneered lumber, these doors provide consistent strength, rigidity, and durability, making them one of the most secure composite doors on the market.
Our doors are 10% thicker than conventional composite doors, which often use inferior cores. The 48mm cross-bonded veneered laminated core ensures a higher standard of security. For complete assurance, always check with your installer at the time of quotation whether your chosen door style meets Secured by Design accreditation.
Secured by Design is a UK Police initiative that aims to reduce crime through high-quality security standards for products and building designs.
