The most common tests specifications are the UK’s LPS 1175 and the European EN1627.

Door sets are available in a range of sizes and locking options, from single doors to leaf and a half to double leaf doorsets with or without vision panels.

Architectural Armour offer LPS rated doorsets from level SR1 to level SR6, dependent on test certification doorsets are available in most configurations, single, double, leaf and half, complete with a comprehensive range of certified single and multipoint locking options.

The Loss Prevention Certification Board developed a system of testing and classification of materials to resist forced entry which has been widely adopted by Police, Government, Insurance and Utility Companies. The relevant standard for door-sets is LPS 1175 Issue 7 which is a specification for the testing the burglary resistance of building components, strongpoints and security enclosures. Below is a table of LPS 1175  Issue 7, which lists the eight SR levels of manual attack resistance, each defined by the length of working time, test duration and the category of tools available.
