Security Swinging Door Systems – LPCB Certified to LPS 1175, LPS 1673 & LPS 2081
A security swinging door is a high-performance entrance system engineered for environments where accessibility, durability, and independently certified protection must work together. Unlike standard hinged doors, these systems are manufactured using reinforced steel or stainless-steel construction, heavy-duty hinge assemblies, multi-point locking systems, and certified components tested to LPS 1175, LPS 1673, and LPS 2081 standards.
In public buildings, hospitals, shopping centres, airports, and warehouse facilities, entrance systems must balance high security with accessibility and health and safety compliance. Doors must open and close safely, integrate automation, resist forced entry, and meet relevant legislation, all while operating reliably across thousands of daily cycles.
Premier SSL supplies and installs LPCB-certified security swinging doors tested to:
LPS 1175
LPS 1175 is the UK’s most widely specified standard.
LPS 2081
LPS 2081Â specified standard for resistance to forced entry.
LPS 1673
LPSÂ 1673 specified standard for resistance to forced entry.
What Isa an LPCB-Certified Security Swinging Door?
An LPCB-certified security swinging door has been independently tested by the Loss Prevention Certification Board to recognised security standards.
- LPS 1175 evaluates resistance to forced entry using defined attack toolkits (SR2, SR3, SR4+).
- LPS 2081 evaluates resistance to stealth attack techniques targeting locks, hinges, glazing, and mechanical fixings.
- LPS 1673 assesses performance under blast loading conditions, relevant to high-risk or critical infrastructure environments.
Each standard evaluates the entire door assembly, including leaf, hinge, locking system, panel construction, frame integrity, and fixings, ensuring certified system performance rather than isolated components.
Why Specify LPS 1175 for High-Security Applications?
LPS 1175 security doors are subjected to aggressive physical attack testing using professional toolkits.
For public buildings, commercial facilities, and high-risk infrastructure, LPS 1175 certification provides assurance that the door can withstand sustained forced entry attempts. Reinforced panels, anti-jemmy hinge systems, dog bolts, and high-security locking systems are evaluated under timed laboratory attack conditions.
Swing doors designed to LPS 1175 standards are ideal for:
- Data centres
- Utility buildings
- Cash handling facilities
- Secure commercial entrances
How Does LPS 2081 Protect Against Stealth Intrusion?
Modern intrusion methods increasingly rely on covert manipulation rather than brute force.
LPS 2081 focuses specifically on stealth attack resistance. Testing replicates discreet attempts to compromise hinges, glazing systems, locks, and mechanical fixings without drawing attention.
For healthcare, education, residential developments, and commercial premises, LPS 2081-certified security swinging doors provide discreet protection that preserves aesthetics while maintaining certified security performance.
When Is LPS 1673 Blast Protection Required?
LPS 1673 relates to blast resistance testing under controlled explosive loading scenarios.
This standard is particularly relevant for:
- Airports
- Government buildings
- Critical infrastructure
- High-risk public buildings
Security swinging doors tested to LPS 1673 are engineered to withstand defined blast pressures while maintaining structural integrity. When required, Premier SSL can integrate blast-rated door systems into broader security strategies.
Why Is an Automatic Swing Door Essential for Healthcare and Public Buildings?
In a hospital or healthcare environment, hands-free access improves infection control and patient flow.
An automatic swing door fitted with compliant sensor systems allows safe, contactless operation. Importantly, automation can be integrated into LPS 1175 or LPS 2081-certified doors without compromising high security standards.
Can Security Swing Doors Be Automated Without Losing Certification?
Yes, when installed correctly.
Our range of automatic operators, floor springs, and closers are fitted in accordance with certified specifications. Structural reinforcement ensures that automation does not weaken the leaf, hinge system, or locking system.
Premier SSL specialises in installing automated security doors that maintain LPCB compliance while delivering seamless accessibility.
What Security Features Are Built into the Door Leaf?
Each leaf is manufactured using high-quality reinforced steel or stainless steel.
Features include:
- Heavy-duty adjustable hinges
- Integrated dog bolts
- Multi-point locking system
- Reinforced internal panel core
- Anti-tamper mechanical fixings
- Optional fire protection core
Whether configured as a single door, double door, or double leaf system, swing doors are designed to operate reliably and resist attack.
How Do These Doors Comply with Health and Safety and Relevant Legislation?
Security swinging doors are designed to comply with:
- UK Building Regulations
- Fire protection requirements
- Accessibility standards
- Health and safety legislation
Integrated closers, floor springs, and automation ensure controlled opening and closing cycles. Professional installation ensures continued compliance throughout the door’s operational life.
What Glaze and Aesthetic Options Are Available?
Security does not mean sacrificing aesthetics.
We offer a wide range of glaze configurations, including laminated and security-rated glass panels tested within the certified door system. Doors are made to order and tailored in colour and finish to suit architectural requirements.
Security swinging doors are perfect for commercial entrances where both appearance and protection matter.
What Servicing and Maintenance Is Required?
To maintain automatic swing doors reliably, regular servicing and maintenance is essential.
Operators, sensors, floor springs, locking systems, and hinge assemblies must be inspected periodically to ensure continued compliance and safe operation.
Premier SSL provides ongoing maintenance packages to protect your investment and ensure long-term reliability.
Do These Doors Meet Secured by Design (SBD) Requirements?
Many LPCB-certified systems align with Secured by Design (SBD) guidance.
Specifying LPS 1175 or LPS 2081 certified security doors supports crime prevention strategies and may positively influence insurance approval. For public buildings, healthcare facilities, and shopping centres, this added layer of recognised compliance is a significant advantage.

FAQ’s
A standard commercial door is typically designed for general access and durability but does not provide certified resistance to attack. A security swinging door is engineered with reinforced steel construction, multi point locking systems and LPCB tested components. The entire door assembly is tested to recognised standards such as LPS 1175 or LPS 2081 to ensure it can resist forced entry or covert intrusion attempts.
The appropriate rating depends on the risk level of the building. Many commercial premises specify LPS 1175 SR2 or SR3 rated doors as a baseline for physical security. Higher risk environments such as data centres, infrastructure sites or cash handling facilities may require higher ratings or additional standards such as LPS 2081.
Security doors can include glazing where required, provided the glass system is compatible with the door certification. Laminated or security rated glass can be incorporated into the door design so that the entrance maintains visibility and architectural appearance while still meeting security requirements.
Yes. Like any mechanical entrance system, security doors benefit from routine servicing. Components such as hinges, locks, door closers and automatic operators should be inspected periodically to ensure the door continues to operate safely and maintain its performance over time…

Security doors can be integrated with access control technologies such as key card readers, intercom systems and electronic locking mechanisms. This allows controlled entry while maintaining the physical security provided by the certified door structure.
With proper installation and maintenance, security doors are designed to provide long service life in demanding environments. Reinforced steel construction and heavy duty hardware ensure the door can withstand frequent use while maintaining its structural integrity and security performance.
Yes. Security swinging doors are commonly used for external building entrances where resistance to forced entry is required. They can be manufactured with weather resistant finishes, insulated cores and suitable sealing systems to ensure long term durability in outdoor conditions.
