Security Doors - LPS1175 Security Level 1
Choose your option
What are LPS1175 Rated Steel Doors?
LPS 1175 security rated steel doors are high security door sets independently tested by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) to resist forced entry using defined attack methods and toolkits. The certification applies to the complete door assembly, including the leaf, frame, locks, hinges, glazing, and any louvres, ensuring the entire system performs as tested.
The standard provides graded security Levels 1โ4, reflecting increasing resistance to attack. Level 1 offers protection against opportunist attack with basic tools, while Levels 2โ4 provide progressively higher resistance suitable for more determined or higher risk threats.
Our LPS1175 doors are available in a range of configurations, including personnel doors, emergency exit doors with compliant panic hardware, glazed security doors, louvred doors, and fire rated security doors where certification allows.
These doors are commonly specified for data centres, utilities, commercial buildings, infrastructure sites, and other higher risk environments where independently tested, measurable security performance is required.

Compliance & Safety
Compliance & Safety
LPS 1175 steel doors must comply with recognised security certification standards, and depending on their application, may also need to meet fire, escape, external product, and building regulation requirements.
LPS 1175 Security Certification
LPS 1175 is a security standard developed by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB).
- Provides graded security Levels 1โ4
- Assesses resistance to defined attack methods and toolkits
- Certification applies to the complete door set (leaf, frame, locks, hinges, glazing, louvres, and hardware)
- Installation must follow certified details to maintain approval.
LPCB Approval and Listing
Certified doors are listed by LPCB and must:
- Be manufactured to approved specifications
- Be installed in accordance with manufacturer guidance
- Not be modified outside the tested configuration
Unauthorised changes can invalidate certification.
Fire Resistance (If Combined)
Where LPS 1175 doors are also fire rated:
- Internal fire doors must be tested to BS EN 1634-1
- Security and fire certification must apply to the same tested assembly
- Fire ratings may vary depending on specification.
Emergency Escape Compliance
If the door forms part of an escape route:
- Panic hardware must comply with BS EN 1125
- Emergency exit devices must comply with BS EN 179
- Security measures must not restrict immediate internal egress
- Life safety requirements take priority over security.
External Door Compliance
For externally installed LPS 1175 doors:
- Must comply with BS EN 14351-1
- CE and/or UKCA marking required
- Declaration of Performance (DoP) provided
Covers weather resistance, wind load, and air permeability.
Accessibility Requirements
Where installed on accessible routes, doors must align with:
- Approved Document M (Access to and Use of Buildings)
This may affect hardware selection and threshold design.
Installation Compliance
To maintain certification:
- Installation must match tested fixing detail
- Hardware substitutions are not permitted
- Glazing and louvre systems must match approved specification
- Frame fixings must be correctly installed into structural substrate
When properly specified and installed, LPS 1175 steel doors provide independently certified graded security performance while meeting applicable fire safety, escape, external product, and building regulation requirements.
Installation & Maintenance
Installation & Maintenance
LPS 1175 steel doors must be installed exactly in accordance with the certified test evidence to maintain their graded security rating (Levels 1โ4). Any deviation from the approved specification can invalidate certification.
Installation Requirements
Install as a Complete Certified Door Set
LPS 1175 applies to the entire assembly, including:
- Steel door leaf
- Frame
- Locking system
- Hinges
- Glazing (if fitted)
- Louvres (if included)
- All hardware
Substituting components or altering the configuration will invalidate certification.
Structural Fixing
- Frame must be securely fixed into structural substrate (masonry, concrete, structural steel)
- Fixing centres must follow certified installation guidance
- Frame must be square, plumb, and level
- Packers must not compromise fixing strength
Improper fixing reduces attack resistance performance.
Locking and Hardware Alignment
- Multi point locking systems must align precisely
- Door must close and latch fully
- Cylinders must be correctly installed
- Strike plates must be securely fixed
- Incorrect alignment can significantly reduce security performance.
Glazing and Louvres (If Applicable)
- Must match the certified LPS 1175 configuration
- Security glazing must be installed using approved beads and fixings
- Louvred panels must not be modified
- Alterations can void the graded security level.
Emergency Exit Hardware (If Fitted)
Where panic or emergency hardware is installed:
- Must comply with BS EN 1125 or BS EN 179
- Internal egress must function immediately
- Security must not compromise life safety
Fire Rated Versions (If Applicable)
If combined with fire resistance:
- Installation must also comply with BS EN 1634-1
- Intumescent seals and fire-stopping must be correctly applied
Supply Only Considerations
If supplied without installation:
- Installer assumes responsibility for maintaining certification
- Installation must strictly follow manufacturer drawings
- Hardware substitutions are not permitted
Professional installation is strongly recommended for higher level security doors.
Maintenance Requirements
LPS 1175 doors are often installed in high-risk environments and require routine inspection to maintain performance.
Routine Inspection (Recommended Quarterly)
Check for:
- Smooth operation
- Secure hinge fixings
- Correct lock engagement
- Frame stability
- Seal condition
- Glazing security
Hardware Maintenance
- Lubricate locks and hinges
- Inspect multi point locking systems
- Check cylinder function
- Tighten fixings as required
External Maintenance
- Inspect weather seals
- Check for corrosion
- Maintain powder-coated finish
- Ensure drainage remains clear
Fire Door Maintenance (If Applicable)
- Inspect intumescent seals
- Confirm self-closing function
- Ensure no unauthorised modifications
When correctly installed and regularly maintained, LPS 1175 steel doors continue to provide certified graded security performance while maintaining compliance with fire, escape, and building regulation requirements.
