Doors: To meet PAS 24, doors must have:
- Multipoint locking systems (usually with at least three locking points)
- Anti-snap, anti-bump, anti-pick, and anti-drill cylinder locks
- Robust hinges with hinge bolts or similar reinforcement
- Laminated and toughened glass in glazing panels to prevent easy access through glass
Windows: PAS 24 windows must include:
- Locking handles or mechanisms that prevent easy opening
- Laminated glass to resist forced entry
- Secure hinge designs to prevent removal or manipulation from outside
In summary, PAS 24 applies to accessible doors and windows in new builds and requires specific locking mechanisms, reinforced hinges, and glazing to comply with security standards. For existing buildings, PAS 24 compliance is voluntary but recommended for enhanced security.
