PAS 24 steel doors provide a reliable combination of enhanced security, durability, fire resistance, and escape compliance, making them well suited to residential and multi occupancy buildings requiring independently tested performance.

PAS 24 steel doors must comply with a combination of security, escape, fire, and external product standards, depending on their application and specification.

PAS 24 – Enhanced Security Standard

PAS 24 is a UK security standard assessing resistance to opportunist forced entry.It evaluates the complete door set, including:

• Door leaf
• Frame
• Locking system
• Hinges
• Glazing (if fitted)
• Hardware

Certification confirms the door has passed mechanical loading, manual attack, and tool based testing.

PAS 24 is commonly required for:

• Residential developments
• Apartment buildings
• Secured by Design projects

Secured by Design (Where Applicable)

PAS 24 doors are often specified to meet Secured by Design (SBD) guidance for enhanced residential security.

Fire Resistance (If Fire Rated)

Where PAS 24 doors are also fire rated:

• Internal fire doors must be tested to BS EN 1634-1

Fire ratings may be available up to E120Fire and security certification must apply to the same tested assembly

Emergency Escape Compliance

If the door forms part of an escape route:

• Panic hardware must comply with BS EN 1125
• Emergency push pads must comply with BS EN 179
• The door must allow immediate internal egress

Security features must not compromise life safety.

External Door Compliance

For externally installed PAS 24 steel doors:

• Must comply with BS EN 14351-1 (external pedestrian doorsets)
• CE and/or UKCA marking required
• Declaration of Performance (DoP) provided

This 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 clear opening widths, thresholds, and hardware usability.

Installation Compliance

To maintain PAS 24 certification:

• Installation must follow manufacturer instructions
• Fixings must match tested detail
• Hardware substitutions are not permitted
• Glazing must match certified specification

When properly specified and installed, PAS 24 steel doors can meet enhanced residential security requirements while also complying with fire safety, escape regulations, and external product standards where applicable.

PAS 24 steel doors must be installed exactly in accordance with the tested and certified door set specification. Because PAS 24 applies to the complete assembly, incorrect installation or unauthorised hardware changes can invalidate certification.

Installation Requirements

Install as a Complete Certified Door Set

The following components must match the tested configuration:

• Steel door leaf
• Frame
• Hinges
• Locking system (often multi-point)
• Cylinders
• Glazing (if fitted)
• Louvres (if certified)
• Seals and hardware

Substituting components can void PAS 24 compliance.

Structural Fixing

• Frame must be securely fixed into structural substrate (masonry, concrete, or steel)
• Fixing centres must follow manufacturer guidance
• Frame must be square, plumb, and level
• Packers must not compromise fixing strength

Incorrect fixing reduces security performance.

Locking and Alignment

• Multi point locking systems must align correctly
• Door must close and latch fully
• Compression seals must engage properly
• Cylinders must be correctly installed

Poor alignment affects both security and weather performance.

Emergency Exit Installation (If Applicable)

Where fitted with panic hardware:

• Must comply with BS EN 1125 or BS EN 179
• Internal egress must be immediate and unobstructed

Security features must not compromise escape function

Fire Rated PAS 24 Installation (If Applicable)

For fire rated PAS 24 doors (up to E120):

• Installation must comply with BS EN 1634-1
• Intumescent seals must be correctly fitted
• Approved fire-stopping materials must be used
• Self closing device must ensure full latching

External Installation

For externally installed PAS 24 doors:

• Weather seals must be properly fitted
• Threshold detail must prevent water ingress
• Installation must align with BS EN 14351-1 compliance

Supply Only Considerations

If supplied without installation:

• Installer assumes responsibility for maintaining PAS 24 certification
• Installation must strictly follow technical drawings
• Hardware substitutions are not permitted

Professional installation is strongly recommended for certified systems.

Maintenance Requirements

PAS 24 doors are commonly installed in high traffic residential and communal environments and require regular inspection.

Routine Inspection (Recommended Quarterly in Communal Buildings)

Check for:

• Smooth operation
• Secure hinge fixings
• Correct multi-point lock engagement
• Frame stability
• Seal condition
• Glazing security

Hardware Maintenance

• Lubricate locks and hinges
• Check cylinder operation
• Adjust closers if fitted
• Test panic hardware regularly

Fire Door Maintenance (If Fire Rated)

• Inspect intumescent seals
• Confirm self closing action
• Ensure no unauthorised alterations

External Maintenance

• Inspect weather seals
• Check for corrosion
• Maintain powder-coated finish
• Ensure drainage remains clear

When properly installed and maintained, PAS 24 steel doors provide long term enhanced security performance while maintaining compliance with fire safety, escape regulations, and external product standards.
