At EBD Steel Doors, we are excited to announce that our EBD-44-FireE door range has successfully passed RC2 and RC3 security tests to EN 1627:2021 burglar resistance standard. This achievement highlights our commitment to producing high-quality, innovative, and secure steel doors.
One of the key features of this success is our ability to pass the RC3 (Resistance Class 3) test with a single-point lock. Typically, achieving an RC3 rating requires multi-point locking systems, but our door design proved that even with a single-point lock, it can meet these stringent security standards. This is a significant accomplishment and a unique selling point (USP) for our EBD-44-FireE door range.
Understanding RC2 and RC3 Ratings
The EN 1627:2021 standard assesses burglar resistance by simulating real-life scenarios, such as attempted forced entry. The tests evaluate the door’s ability to withstand attacks using various tools. While RC ratings may not be commonly required in the UK, they are critical in European markets where enhanced building security is mandatory. The higher the rating, the stronger the door’s resistance to intrusion.
RC2: Provides protection against casual intruders using simple tools like screwdrivers and pliers. This level is ideal for security doors in premises with moderate burglary risks.
RC3: Offers higher-level protection against experienced burglars using more advanced tools, such as crowbars. This makes it suitable for buildings with greater security demands.
Simplified Security Without Compromise
Passing the RC3 test with a single-point lock not only highlights the strength and innovation behind our EBD-44-FireE door range, but also offers practical benefits for our customers. By simplifying the locking system, we reduce the number of components to manage, speed up installation, and deliver dependable security without compromising on performance.
This is a testament to our dedication to providing cost-effective, robust security solutions for buildings with a variety of needs.
