A PAS 24 communal security door is a complete entrance doorset tested to resist methods of attack used by opportunistic intruders. It combines the door leaf, frame, glazing, locks, hinges and security hardware into one tested system for shared residential entrances.PAS 24 and STS 202 security louvre doors are tested steel doorsets that combine resistance to forced entry with permanent ventilation. The door leaf, frame, louvre panels, locks and hardware are tested as a complete security doorset.
PAS 24 communal doors are commonly installed in apartment blocks, social housing developments, council properties, housing association accommodation, student housing and other buildings with shared entrances.
PAS 24 certification confirms that the complete doorset has been tested against specified methods of forced entry. Certification applies to the tested combination of door, frame, glazing and hardware, rather than to individual components in isolation.
A PAS 24 door has undergone recognised security testing to demonstrate its resistance to forced entry. A standard communal door may be robust, but it should not be described as PAS 24 certified unless the complete doorset has been tested and approved.
Yes. PAS 24 communal security doors are well suited to social housing and housing association properties where entrances must withstand frequent use, attempted unauthorised access and potential vandalism. Their durable construction can also help reduce ongoing repair and replacement requirements.
Yes. Glazed and solid panels can be combined to suit the appearance, visibility and security requirements of the building. Security glazing and replaceable glazing cassettes are available within suitable certified doorset configurations.
PAS 24 communal doors can be specified with compatible access-control equipment, including electronic locking, intercoms, door-entry systems and controlled resident access. All hardware should be selected within the approved doorset specification to maintain its security performance.
Maxdor communal security doors use fully welded construction, robust hinges, secure glazing and heavy-duty hardware to withstand demanding, high-traffic environments. Anti-vandal features make them suitable for shared entrances where damage and misuse are a concern.

The cost depends on the opening size, door configuration, glazing, access-control system, security hardware, finish and installation requirements. Maxium Doors can provide a tailored quotation once the project details and approximate dimensions are available.
