Our Commitment to Quality: Creating Doorsets that Meet PAS 24 and Fire Safety Standards

At Access2, we understand the importance of delivering doors that not only meet but exceed industry standards for security and safety. Compliance with PAS 24 and fire safety regulations is non-negotiable, and it’s a core part of our mission to ensure every doorset we supply meets these essential requirements.

1. PAS 24: A Standard We Uphold in Every Doorset
We are committed to providing doorsets that meet PAS 24, the benchmark for enhanced security performance. This standard ensures that our doors offer robust protection against unauthorised access, which is essential in both commercial and residential projects.

Designing for Security: From the initial design phase, we focus on creating doors that integrate the best materials and technologies to meet PAS 24’s demanding security criteria. Our focus is on quality components—locks, hinges, and cylinders—that work seamlessly together to deliver reliable security solutions.
Rigorous Testing: Our doors undergo comprehensive testing to ensure they meet PAS 24’s security standards. We work closely with testing bodies to ensure our products pass every test for resistance against forced entry, providing confidence that our products will stand up to real-world security threats.
Continuous Improvement: As standards evolve, so do we. Our commitment to continuous product development ensures that we stay ahead of the curve, adapting to any changes in PAS 24 standards and ensuring our products remain compliant.

2. Fire Safety: Protecting People and Property
We recognise the critical importance of fire safety and the role that fire-rated doors play in saving lives. That’s why we prioritise fire safety testing across our entire product range.

Fire-Resistant Doorsets: Our fire-rated doorsets are tested to meet the latest fire safety standards, including BS 476-22 and BS EN 1634-1. This ensures our doors provide the necessary protection against fire and smoke, helping to contain fires and protect lives in the event of an emergency.
Holistic Approach: We focus on creating doorsets that offer more than just fire resistance. Our doors are designed to integrate seamlessly with other building components, including seals, glazing, and hardware, to deliver a complete, high-performance solution that meets both fire safety and security standards.
Comprehensive Testing: Our fire doors undergo a range of tests to ensure they meet the required fire resistance ratings. We work with recognised fire-testing laboratories to ensure our products comply with the latest regulations, ensuring that every door delivers reliable protection when it matters most.

3. Our Promise: Quality and Compliance in Every Project
At Access2, we are committed to providing products that consistently meet the highest standards of security and fire safety. We know that your reputation depends on the quality of the products you offer, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Tailored Solutions: Whether you’re working on a high-security commercial project or a residential development, we provide custom solutions to meet the specific needs of your doorsets. We collaborate closely with our clients to ensure that each product meets the exact requirements, ensuring peace of mind and compliance.
Ongoing Support: Beyond product design and manufacturing, we offer ongoing support throughout the life of your doorsets. From installation advice to maintenance guidance, we’re here to ensure our products continue to meet PAS 24 and fire safety standards long after installation.

Final Thoughts
We are proud of our commitment to creating doors that meet PAS 24 and fire safety standards. By prioritising quality, security, and compliance, we aim to provide doorsets that not only meet industry expectations but exceed them.

Cylinder Options and Features

All cylinders perform the same basic task, but the details of their design and construction provide a range of additional features and benefits. A number of additional features are available as options within the Tigris® ranges of cylinder. Clutch Function When inserted the key disengages the thumb turn operation, and has priority over locking and unlocking. Often required in facilities for vulnerable people, it prevents a door being held locked by gripping the thumb turn on the inside. Classroom Function A variant of the clutch function. The key operation remains the same, however the thumbturn can only be used to unlock the door. Construction Cylinder Allows contractors to install and use the cylinder during the construction phase using a Construction Key. Once a valid system key is used, the internal pinning arrangement alters to negate and prevent any future use of the Construction Keys. Thumbturns We offer a range of thumbturns to suit different hardware ranges, aesthetics or for Special Needs requirements. Finishes An unrivalled number of finishes are offered through our Colourmatch service. As well as 10 standard finishes we are able to colour match any hardware finish you wish to specify.
