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. Importantly, many UAP products are also accredited by recognised schemes such as Secured by Design and BSI Kitemark, providing additional assurance of quality and performance. A chieving F irst -T ime PAS 24 S uccess One of the biggest challenges for door manufacturers is achieving PAS 24 compliance on the first test attempt. Failure can result in high costs, delays, and reputational impact. UAP addresses this by taking a customer-led approach, working with manufacturers to specify complete hardware packages that have already undergone extensive testing and validation. By combining proven components, such as multipoint locks, TS008 letterplates, Freezeguard cylinders, and compatible accessories, UAP reduces the risk of failure and helps streamline the path to certification. I ntegrated S ecurity Y ou C an T rust PAS 24 compliance is about more than meeting a standard; it’s about delivering real-world security performance. Because the standard evaluates the doorset as a whole, every component must work together flawlessly. UAP’s range of TS008 letterplates, multipoint locks, Freezeguard 3 Star cylinders, and supporting hardware is designed with this principle at its core. By offering a fully integrated solution, UAP enables door manufacturers to achieve compliance efficiently, confidently, and cost-effectively. In an environment where security expectations continue to rise, choosing the right hardware partner is essential. With UAP, every component contributes to a stronger, more resilient doorset, ready to meet the demands of PAS 24 testing and beyond.
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 L etterplates : A C ritical S ecurity C omponent While often overlooked, letterplates are a common 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. S upporting H ardware : T he C omplete S ecurity E cosystem 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.
