What PAS24 means for windows and doors
PAS24 is often mentioned on new-build and security-led projects. Here is what to ask before choosing windows and doors.
PAS24 is a security performance standard
PAS24 relates to enhanced security testing for doors and windows. It is commonly discussed on new-build work, certain extensions, and projects where a specification asks for tested security performance.
It affects the full specification
Security is not only a lock choice. The frame, sash, keeps, glazing, hardware, cylinder, and installation details all need to work as a compliant product route.
Ask before manufacture
If PAS24 is required, it should be discussed before pricing and fabrication so the correct product path is selected from the start.
Quick checklist
What to confirm before you order.
Every property and opening is different, so use this as a starting point before a measured survey and final specification.
- Confirm whether PAS24 is required by your builder, architect, insurer, or specification
- Ask which product systems have suitable PAS24 options
- Discuss laminated glass or hardware upgrades where needed
- Keep documentation requirements clear before ordering
