Boon Edam Keeps Burglars Out
11 August 2008
Edam, the Netherlands - Royal Boon Edam Group Holding, the global leader in entrance technology, has become the first company to offer an approved class three burglary resistance package on revolving doors and security access products in accordance with ENV1627 and NEN5096.
The global demand for burglar-resistant doors in both public and private buildings is growing rapidly. According to police statistics, a burglary takes place every 5min-8min every day. Not only does the financial damage amount to millions each year, but the psychological effects of intruders have a huge impact on those involved.
Insurance companies are increasing their premiums to cover increasing claim costs accordingly. Anticipating this, Boon Edam has developed certified class three burglar-resistant Tourniket and Circlelock doors; the first manufacturer in Europe to do so.
Tourniket energy-saving burglar-resistant door
The Tourniket is an energy-saving revolving door with an extensive range of options and sizes (1,600mm-3,800mm diameter) available. The main part of the burglar-resistant package for this door consists of a comprehensive night-locking system equipped with multiple locking points. In addition, a special bottom guide, reinforced profiles and a modified canopy construction are included to guarantee the integrity of the constructions during burglar attempts.
Circlelock high-security portal
Another burglar-resistant package has been developed for the Circlelock, Boon Edam's high security portal. This interlocking booth prevents unauthorised entrance to secured areas and features special dead bolt locking of the outer door panel, as well as the reinforced stainless steel bottom guide. This heavy-duty, burglar-resistant construction contributes to an even higher security level than the standard Circlelock already offers.
Both burglar-resistant packages include high-impact resistant, laminated P5A glass panels in compliance with the EN356 standards.
Certification to comply with international standards
The burglar-resistant systems have been developed and tested in compliance with the applicable international standard ENV1627, and are certified by the relevant notified body. The standard specifies requirements and testing methods of burglar-resistant constructions for pedestrian doors, windows, facades, grilles and shutters.
