Secured by Design Doors
Secured by Design is a UK non-profit organisation that analyses the security of windows, external doors, door locks and cars. The tests that the products are subjected to differ from standard security tests as they involve a much greater level of attack. Using more force ensures products are meeting a higher standard of security and provides vital assurance to the consumer.
The Secured by Design scheme is a police initiative that uses innovations in security design to help improve security features and reduce crime. This supports one of the UK Governments key planning objectives - to create secure, safe and quality places where people wish to live and work.
Research shows that products which have been designed to meet Secured by Design standards can reduce criminal damage by 25% and burglary and car crime by 50%. |

 | The Secured by Design initiative is operated by ACPO Crime Prevention Initiatives Limited and funded through partnerships with the companies whose products meet the Secured by Design technical standards, as identified by ACPO CPI.
Companies are only allowed to use the 'Secured by Design' logo on their products if they have matched the high security standards as tested by ACPO CPI. The 'Secured by Design' logo is the assurance to customers that the product has been put through enhanced security tests and passed.
