Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)

What It Means to Be an LPS 1175 OEM

LPS 1175 is the UK’s benchmark testing standard for forced-entry resistance. Achieving certification at any level requires products to withstand measured, tool-based attacks conducted by BRE’s expert assessors. Being an LPS 1175 OEM means our products are not only certified, but engineered from the ground up with these performance standards as the baseline.

We don’t retrofit security. We design for security, ensuring materials, components and assembly methods are optimised for real-world resistance.

This level of control is only possible because we operate as a true UK manufacturer.

Understanding LPS1175-rated products

Complete In-House Manufacturing for Unmatched Quality

Every Premier system begins and ends in our Essex facility, where we carry out all major production processes internally. This includes:

• Steel Fabrication: High-precision forming and assembly of frames, leaf structures and reinforced components.
• Waterjet Cutting: Ultra-accurate profiling for ballistic panels, steel reinforcements and bespoke designs.
• Powder Coating: A durable, professional finish applied in-house for superior longevity and corrosion resistance.
• Shot-Blasting: Pre-treatment that ensures coatings bond correctly and extends the lifespan of each product.

This level of end-to-end control allows us to maintain tight tolerances, produce fully bespoke systems and guarantee reliability for projects requiring LPS 1175, ballistic, blast or fire performance.

Accredited by the BRE – Trusted Throughout the UK and Worldwide

All Premier high-security products are tested and certified by the Building Research Establishment (BRE), the UK’s most respected authority for physical security evaluation. Our range includes:

• LPS 1175 certified security doors
• High-performance windows and fixed screens
• Curtain-walling systems including our world-first crash-tested HVM glazing
• Gates and compound protection for commercial and critical infrastructure
• Optional upgrades for fire resistance, ballistic ratings, and blast protection

Whether your project demands SR2, SR3, SR4 or higher, we support architects, installers and security teams with fully documented test evidence and OEM-grade technical guidance.

Why Choosing an OEM Matters for LPS 1175 Projects

Specifying an LPS 1175 OEM ensures…

• Authentic certification backed by real test data, not imitation claims
• Consistent build quality, because every product is made under one roof
• Accurate tolerances essential for security-critical performance
• Faster customisation, ideal for specialist or large-scale developments
• Direct technical support, from the engineers who designed the systems

With threats continuously evolving, relying on resold or imported systems introduces risk. Working directly with an OEM gives you the certainty that your installation is compliant, verifiable, and designed for the environment it protects.

Strength Built From Within as a True Original Equipment Manufacturer

Full stage integration also means our LPS 1175 OEM products are continuously refined, tested and improved to meet evolving security threats across the UK and internationally.

Being an Original Equipment Manufacturer also means greater flexibility for architects, contractors and end users. Because we are not limited by off-the-shelf parts, we can create bespoke solutions that meet strict project requirements, whether that involves custom sightlines for curtain walling, specialist framing for ballistic glass, or modified reinforcement for advanced blast resistance. Our clients benefit from fully traceable manufacturing processes, consistent quality, and the assurance that every element of their system has been engineered by one expert team working under one roof.

Leading the Future of UK-Manufactured Security

From counter-terror specification curtain-walling to residential high-security systems, Premier is committed to pushing boundaries and elevating the standards of British-made security.

As a trusted LPS 1175 OEM, we continue to invest in new engineering capabilities, improved materials and advanced testing, ensuring our partners benefit from solutions that don’t just meet the standard, they redefine it.

If your project requires certified security, tailored engineering, or OEM-level technical partnership, our team is here to help.
