Burglar-resistant doors RC3-RC4-RC5-MBE3

In a world where physical security is becoming increasingly important, Metal Quartz offers a robust and aesthetic solution in the form of burglar-resistant doors. These doors are designed and tested to withstand advanced burglary attempts and comply with the strictest European standards such as EN 1627-1630, along with additional test standards like AE20 and the Belgian Justice Standards P0 and P1.

Thanks to their modular construction, high-quality materials, and extensive certification, these burglar-resistant doors are suitable for a wide range of applications—from prison environments to government buildings, financial institutions, data centers, airports, and other strategic infrastructures.

Certificates and European Standards: RC3 to RC5, MBE3, and AE20

Burglar-resistant doors are tested and certified according to standards EN 1627 to EN 1630. These test series precisely define how well a door withstands various attack methods:

• EN 1628: test for resistance to static load (such as pushing and levering)
• EN 1629: test for resistance to dynamic load (such as impacts and kicks)
• EN 1630: test for manual burglary attempts with tools

The resistance levels are indicated as WK (Resistance Class) or RC (Resistance Class), divided as follows:

• RC3: protects against burglary attempts with simple hand tools such as screwdrivers, hammers, and crowbars.
• RC4: resistant to heavier tools like axes, hammer drills, and reciprocating saws.
• RC5: provides protection against prolonged and structured attacks with power tools, including angle grinders and cordless drills.

Additionally, Metal Quartz offers doors with MBE3 certification, developed in collaboration with the Belgian government (FPS Interior Affairs). These are designed for use in highly sensitive buildings such as justice, police, and defense facilities. The AE20 certificate (security class P0/P1) is also available for specific government projects requiring high burglary resistance.

Burglar-resistant doors in high-risk environments

The burglar-resistant doors are designed for use in environments where a high level of security is required. Typical applications include:

• Government buildings: entrance and exit doors for ministries, police zones, or customs services.
• Financial institutions: access security for bank branches, cash transport areas, and vault zones.
• Critical infrastructure: security for telecom installations, power plants, water supply facilities, and airports.
• Industry and research centers: protection of R&D departments, server rooms, and production facilities.
• Logistics and storage centers: access doors for buildings where valuable goods are stored.

The burglar-resistant doors can be installed both indoors and outdoors and are suitable as main entrance doors or as partition elements within a secured compartment.

Construction and configuration: flexibility without compromise

Metal Quartz burglar-resistant doors are available in multiple models, including:

• Solid hinged door: fully steel door leaf without glazing, for maximum protection.
• Partially glazed door: combination of steel panel with a burglar-resistant glass window.
• Fully glazed door: equipped with certified burglar-resistant glass, with slim profiles for an aesthetic finish.

All door types are:

• Custom-made: both in dimensions and finishes
• Equipped with sturdy hinges and burglary-resistant anchors
• Compatible with electromechanical locks and access control systems

Burglar-resistant doors: Combination with other performance features

The burglar-resistant doors can be combined with additional performance features:

• Fire resistance (according to EN 1634-1): possible up to EI1-30 or EI1-60 for compartmentalization
• Ballistic resistance (according to EN 1522-1523): can be combined with FB4 or FB6 performance levels
• EMC protection: deployable in Bunkerkit® modules for electromagnetic shielding

The combination of multiple certifications in a single element makes these burglar-resistant doors unique on the market and highly suitable for critical applications.
