Unity Doors offers peace of mind with Secure by Design certification
We’re pleased to announce that Unity Doors has recently renewed its membership with Secured by Design (SBD) – the official police security initiative.
SBD’s product-based accreditation scheme provides a recognised standard for all security products that can deter and reduce crime. Unity Doors’ Firesafe Composite Residential Doorsets and Regency SMC Composite Residential Doorsets have both been certified by Secured by Design (SBD).
Serving the industry to over 20 years, Unity Doors has experience in design, manufacture and installation of high performing British made doors, including; sheet moulding compound (SMC), thermoplastic composite, engineered solid timber core composites & high quality timber doors. They have sold over two million composite doors to trade, domestic and business customers throughout the UK.
SBD Development Officer Doug Skins said: “I am pleased that Unity Doors has renewed their membership with SBD as they have been valued members since 2012 with their Firesafe Composite Residential Doorsets and Regency SMC Composite Residential Doorsets having achieved Police Preferred Specification”.
As a company Unity Group is focused on delivering excellence and making a real difference to peoples’ lives. By investing in Secured By Design certification our customers can depend on the highest quality doorsets which have been designed to deter crime and ultimately keep people safe. The desire to make a difference, to protect and improve, are all things which are fundamental to our ethos, so we’re extremely proud once again to renew our membership and thank everyone for their support.
BD is the official police security initiative that is owned by the UK Police Service with the specific aim to reduce crime and help people live more safely.
SBD seeks to improve the physical security of buildings using products, such as doors, windows, locks and walling systems that meet the SBD Police Preferred Specification security requirements.
In addition, SBD work closely with builders, developers, local authorities and registered housing associations to incorporate the police crime prevention standards into developments from initial concept and design, through to construction and completion. Police forces throughout the UK have specially trained Designing Out Crime Officers (DOCOs) who offer police designing out crime and SBD advice free of charge.
‘Over one million homes have been built to SBD standards with reductions in crime of up to 87%.’
SBD has many partner organisations, ranging from the Home Office, Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government through to local authorities, housing associations, developers and manufacturers, and works closely with standards and certification bodies.
SBD developed a product-based accreditation scheme over 20 years’ ago – the Police Preferred Specification, which provides a recognised standard for all security products that can deter and reduce crime. SBD works with manufacturers and standards authorities to ensure that security standards are current and updated, to keep pace with emerging crime trends.
There are currently hundreds of companies producing thousands of attack resistant crime prevention products, across over 30 different crime categories, which have achieved Police Preferred Specification.
SBD is the only way for companies to obtain police recognition for security-related products in the UK.
