Anti Theft Door Security Ratings
Understanding EN 1627 resistance classes for burglar proof door selection.
The European standard EN 1627 defines resistance classes (RC) that specify how long an anti theft door must withstand burglary attempts using defined tools and attack methods. Each class undergoes testing per EN 1628 (static loading), EN 1629 (dynamic loading), and EN 1630 (manual burglary simulation). Selecting the appropriate rating ensures your anti theft door matches the actual threat level and response time available.

Performance Characteristics
Testing and Certification Standards
Anti Theft Technology Systems
Layered security technologies that make our burglar proof doors resistant to common attack methods.
Effective anti theft door design addresses multiple attack vectors through layered countermeasures. Each technology targets specific intrusion methods, from opportunistic lock picking to professional drilling attacks. Understanding these technologies helps specifiers select the appropriate protection level for their application.
Anti-Drill Protection
Attack Method: High-speed drills to destroy lock cylinders, allowing direct manipulation of the locking mechanism.
3-5mm hardened steel plate causes drill bits to skate across the surface rather than penetrate.
Free-spinning hardened steel pins deflect drilling force and cause the bit to wander.
Hardened steel driver pins and key pins that resist drilling within the cylinder mechanism.
Anti-Pick Lock Technology
Attack Method: Specialized tools manipulate cylinder pins to the shear line without the correct key.
Spool pins, serrated pins, or mushroom pins provide false set feedback to picking attempts.
Extremely tight manufacturing tolerances limit tactile feedback available to pickers.
Complex keyway profiles physically obstruct standard lock picks.
Anti-Bump Protection
Attack Method: Bump keys exploit mechanical action - a specially cut key is struck, causing pins to jump to shear line.
Modified pin designs with chambers or undercuts prevent the bounce effect that bump attacks rely on.
Some cylinders incorporate magnetic elements requiring proper alignment bump keys cannot replicate.
Secondary locking mechanisms that must be aligned by the correct key in addition to pin tumbler stack.
Anti-Snap Cylinder Design
Attack Method: Tools break protruding cylinder sections, then manipulate the exposed mechanism.
Predetermined break point in non-critical section. If snapped, internal locking mechanism remains intact.
Even if outer section is removed, remaining cylinder maintains full locking engagement.
Internal section uses thicker, reinforced housing that cannot be further snapped or drilled.
Anti-Pry Construction
Attack Method: Crowbars or spreader tools create separation between door and frame to force door open.
Distributing locking points along full door height means attackers cannot concentrate force at single location.
Continuous steel strips overlap the frame, eliminating the gap needed for tool insertion.
Steel studs on hinge side engage with frame. Even if hinges destroyed, door remains secured.
Anti-Saw Construction
Attack Method: Hacksaws, reciprocating saws, or angle grinders cut through door panels or around locking mechanisms.
1.5mm-2.5mm steel thickness significantly extends cutting time beyond typical attack durations.
Hardened steel rods positioned within door construction obstruct saw blades and cause damage or deflection.
Lock mechanism area incorporates additional armoring that resists cutting attempts.
Integrated Protection System
Effective anti theft doors layer multiple technologies so that defeating one protection does not compromise overall security. Our burglar proof doors integrate all relevant countermeasures appropriate to the specified security rating, creating a comprehensive system rather than relying on individual components.
Lock and Hardware Systems
Multi-point locking configurations and high-security hardware for anti theft door applications.
The locking system determines much of an anti theft door's practical security level. Our burglar proof doors offer multiple locking configurations matched to security rating requirements, from basic 3-point residential systems to comprehensive 12-point commercial installations. All hardware integrates with the door and frame as a tested system.

Anti Theft Door Construction
Materials and construction methods that define burglar proof door performance.
Door Leaf Assembly
Outer Steel Skins
Cold-rolled galvanized steel, 1.2mm to 2.5mm depending on security rating.

Lock Zone Armoring
Manganese steel or hardened steel plate, 3mm to 6mm thickness.
Function: Protects lock mechanism from drilling attacks. Hardened alloy deflects drill bits.
Insulation Core
Mineral wool (40-80 kg/m³) or polyurethane foam (45 kg/m³).
Function: Thermal insulation, acoustic dampening, fire resistance. Adds mass and impact absorption.
Security Frame Assembly
| Component | Material | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Frame Profile | Cold-rolled galvanized steel, 1.5-2.5mm | Secure mounting surface with integrated anchor tabs and strike pockets |

Anti Theft Door Installation
Critical installation requirements for maintaining burglar proof door security performance.
Proper installation is essential for anti theft door security. Studies indicate that approximately 70% of door security failures relate to installation issues rather than product limitations. A correctly specified burglar proof door improperly installed will not deliver its rated performance. The following requirements ensure your anti theft door provides the security protection it was designed to deliver.
Improper installation voids security certification and warranty. Always use qualified installers with documented experience in security door installation.
Wall and Opening Requirements
Acceptable Wall Materials
Min 150mm thickness - Preferred substrate
Min 140mm - Grouted cores required for hollow
Min 190mm - Cores within 600mm must be grouted
Engineering review required
Unacceptable Without Reinforcement
Opening Dimension Requirements
Frame dimensions + 10-15mm on each side
Diagonal measurements within 3mm
Within 2mm per meter height
Frame Installation Procedure
Verify Opening
Check dimensions and squareness. Out-of-square openings prevent proper operation.
Position Frame
Use packers/shims to achieve plumb and level with adequate clearance.
Mark & Drill
Mark anchor positions through frame. Avoid anchor points near mortar joints.
Install Anchors
Tighten progressively, alternating sides to maintain alignment.
Check Alignment
Verify alignment after each anchor. Frame distortion affects security.
Fill Gaps
Use mortar, mineral wool, or fire-rated sealant as required.
Frame Anchor Specifications
Through-bolts or chemical anchors to masonry/concrete
10mm for RC2/RC3, 12mm for RC4
Minimum 80mm into solid material
Maximum 400mm intervals, 4 per jamb minimum
Post-Installation Security Verification
| Verification Check | Method | Pass/Fail Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Frame Anchor Integrity | Attempt to rock frame in opening | No movement should be detectable |
| Door-Frame Alignment | Verify consistent gap around perimeter | No contact points; door swings freely |
| Locking Point Engagement | Engage lock, verify all bolts extend fully | All bolts must reach strike pockets |
| Cylinder Operation | Lock/unlock multiple times | Smooth operation without binding |
| Anti-Lift Feature | With door closed, attempt to lift | Dog bolts prevent upward movement |
| Seal Compression | Check weatherseal contact | Full perimeter contact when closed |
