Secured by Design Membership

The company operates a licensing scheme currently including more than 350 member companies who are entitled to use the Secured by Design logo and promote the term 'Police Preferred Specification' on products which have passed the tests specified by ACPO Secured by Design.

The Connective Touch Flexi unit has been independently tested and passed by Chiltern Dynamics for Security and Burglary risk i.e. manual attack on the lock (the PAS 24 test) so you can be re-assured that the product is robust and your assets will be protected.
This means that the unit survives intact from an attack using sledgehammers and crowbars for more than 3 minutes. Although the handle of the unit can be removed the lock is still secure because the patented ‘smart’ spindle ensures the mechanical lock cannot be engaged until an individual has been correctly identified by the unit.
Passing this stringent manual attack test means that the Connective Touch Flexi complies with the requirements of the police scheme ‘Secured by Design’.(SBD), which is endorsed by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO).This UK Police flagship initiative supports the principles of ‘designing out crime’ by use of effective crime prevention and security standards for a range of applications, including doors and locks.
