Multipoint locks distribute the locking force across several positions along the door frame, significantly increasing resistance against forced entry. Features such as opposing hooks, anti-lift bolts, and reinforced keeps provide enhanced security, helping doorsets withstand the physical attack elements of PAS 24 testing. Crucially, these locks are designed for both durability and security. PAS 24 testing includes repeated mechanical operations and attack simulations, meaning locks must maintain performance throughout these tests. Fullex locks are built with long-term reliability in mind, ensuring consistent operation even under demanding test conditions.
vulnerability in residential doors. PAS 24 testing specifically evaluates whether intruders can exploit openings, such as letter plates, to gain access. UAP’s TS008 Soterian letterplates are designed to mitigate this risk. TS008 certification refers to enhanced security standards developed to resist manipulation techniques such as fishing and tool- based attacks through the letterplate aperture. When incorporated into PAS 24-compliant doorsets, TS008 letterplates provide resistance against intrusion attempts through the door aperture, robust construction to withstand physical attack, compatibility with fire-rated and security-rated door systems. UAP’s range includes TS008 fire-rated letterplates, ensuring that both security and fire performance requirements can be met in a single solution. Because PAS 24 assesses the full doorset, the inclusion of a compliant letterplate is essential. Even the strongest lock can be undermined by a weak or poorly specified auxiliary component. Supporting Hardware: The Complete Security Ecosystem
Freezeguard 3 Star Cylinder: Performance in All Conditions
Alongside the locking system, the cylinder plays a critical role in both security and operational reliability. UAP’s Freezeguard 3 Star cylinder is designed to perform in challenging environmental conditions, helping to ensure that doorsets remain functional even in extreme cold. As part of a PAS 24-compliant doorset, consistent cylinder
performance is essential not only to resist attack but also to maintain usability during testing and in real-world applications. By combining enhanced security credentials with durability and resilience, the Freezeguard cylinder supports the overall integrity of the door system, ensuring that environmental factors do not compromise compliance or performance. TS008 Letterplates: A Critical Security Component While often overlooked, letterplates are a common
Beyond locks and letterplates, PAS 24 compliance depends on a complete ecosystem of hardware. UAP offers a comprehensive portfolio of complementary products including: high-security escutcheons, door handles engineered for durability, cylinders and masterkey systems, door viewers, and door chains. Each of these elements contributes to the doorset’s overall performance. For example, security escutcheons protect cylinders from attack, while reinforced handles prevent forced entry attempts from compromising access points.
