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.
