Although PAS 24 may appear to be little more than technical jargon, it is an essential standard in our industry. A clear understanding of it is vital for all those involved in the planning and installation of new doors and windows.
What Is PAS 24 and Why It Matters in Door and Window Installation
PAS 24 is a British Standard that sets the minimum security requirements for external doors and windows, ensuring they can resist forced entry attempts. It covers product strength, build quality, locking systems, and hardware to confirm that installations provide real protection.
The Metropolitan Police guidance on door security highlights the importance of these standards. They recommend fitting security-accredited products tested to British standards, such as PAS 24 (2022) for new doors. This gives assurance that the product has been independently tested and is designed to withstand attempts to force it open.
By choosing doors and windows that meet PAS 24, developers, installers, and homeowners follow best practice for crime prevention and gain confidence that entry points will not become the weak link in a building’s security.
