What is PAS 24?

PAS 24 (Publicly Available Specification 24) is the UK security standard that sets out the minimum requirements for doors and windows designed to resist attack from opportunistic burglars.

• Developed to improve building security across residential and commercial sectors.
• Required for new-build homes under Approved Document Q of UK Building Regulations.
• Recognised by Secured by Design, the official UK police initiative for crime prevention.

PAS 24 certification ensures your door has been independently tested to withstand real-world break-in attempts.

How PAS 24 Testing Works

PAS 24 doors are tested by independent, UKAS-accredited laboratories using a strict set of procedures designed to simulate common burglary techniques.

The PAS24 tests include:

• Manual attack testing – attempts to force entry using everyday tools.
• Mechanical loading – simulating body force or sustained pressure on hinges and locks.
• Hardware manipulation – checking resistance against lock picking, drilling, or levering.

Tools used in PAS 24 testing:

• Screwdrivers
• Pliers
• Wire cutters
• Hammers
• Utility knives

If a door withstands the required level of attack for a set time period, it passes the PAS 24 standard.
