Jack Aluminium Systems has achieved STS202-BR2 approval for its TD68 thermal door system, confirming its capability to meet BR2-level security performance – equivalent to LPS1175 SR2.
The approval has already acted as a catalyst for increased Q4 sales, the company said, as specifiers and fabricators look for aluminium alternatives to steel in high-security projects.
Historically, STS202-BR2 approvals have been achieved mainly by steel doorsets. The standard measures a door’s ability to resist forced entry using a prescribed toolkit – typically including screwdrivers, hammers, chisels and small crowbars – to simulate the kind of opportunistic and sustained attacks a building might face in real-world conditions.
This accreditation demonstrates that the TD68 aluminium system achieves the same level of tested protection – while continuing to deliver the thermal efficiency, design flexibility and fabrication simplicity that have made it a popular choice for commercial applications.
