P C Henderson is proud to reintroduce Securefold Pro - our trusted external folding door hardware system, now tested and compliant with the latest PAS 24:2022+A1:2024 security standard.

Designed for residential and commercial applications with doors up to 100kg each, Securefold Pro has been enhanced to support specifiers, fabricators and developers working on upcoming housing projects.

What is PAS 24 and why does it matter?

 

 

PAS 24 is the UK’s benchmark standard for enhanced security performance of door sets and windows. The standard defines how products must perform under a range of manual and mechanical attack methods commonly associated with forced entry. The testing process simulates real‑world burglary techniques and includes stringent assessments of strength, durability, and overall hardware reliability.

What has changed in the latest PAS 24:2022 + A1:2024?

The newest update reflects a significant shift in how security is assessed—moving beyond traditional forced-entry tests to address the latest burglary techniques. This includes:

  • Testing that reflects modern burglary methods including super glue, freezing sprays and liquid attacks
  • Greater focus on hardware resilience – such as locks, cylinders and handles
  •  Clearer testing procedures
  • More accountability for assembly and installation

Crucially, the latest PAS 24 standard is also the primary route to compliance with Approved Document Q (ADQ) of the Building Regulations, which requires that new builds are protected against unauthorised access.

  • Securefold Pro offers hardware designed to support PAS 24-compliant doorsets
