Secured by Design 35th Anniversary

Congratulations to all the team at Secured by Design on their 35th anniversary, from everyone at Winkhaus UK Ltd

Winkhaus was the second company to become a Secured by Design member, with a partnership that continues to thrive today, based on a shared ethos of enhancing the physical security of buildings and ensuring the safety of tenants.

As a manufacturer of door and window locking solutions, all Winkhaus products are designed and tested to the requirements of Secured by Design. This includes: our market leading door and window locking solutions, our mechanical cylinder range, and our soon to be launched smart motor, which has recently been certified by IASME to meet the requirements of the new SBD Secured Connected Device scheme.

Winkhaus also holds one of the largest banks for test evidence for internal and external, timber and composite residential fire doorsets, with a partner network of sixty fellow Secured by Design member companies manufacturing compliant fire doorsets.

The longevity of this partnership is not just about compliance, it thrives on a shared belief to identify weaknesses in current methodology and legislation, highlighting enhancements that will increase the security and safety of tenants.

Andrew Wilkins - Business Strategy Manager at Winkhaus UK, commented “Secured by Design’s 35th anniversary is the perfect opportunity to thank the team for all their help and support over the decades that we have worked in partnership. We are especially proud of their role in driving change and how the three key performances for a fire doorset of fire, smoke and security are now part of 3rd party accreditation and for their ongoing work in supporting specifiers and responsible persons in social housing ensure their specifications are in line with the latest legislation".

Winkhaus’ SBD accredited products include all of their leading multi-point locking solutions for single and double doors, including the AV range of automatic locking solutions, its full scopes of accreditation for timber and composite internal and external fire doorsets, which currently includes over 170 primary fire tests and mirrored test evidence for smoke and security.
