Finishes chosen within each door’s certification
Certified doorsets
Selected to recognised security standards
Led by the risk
The rating follows the risk, not the catalogue
One point of coordination
From specification to handover, worldwide
Security that looks like it belongs
A security door can be finished to suit the property, inside and out, so that it sits comfortably alongside the other doors in the house.
Finishes and hardware are chosen from the options covered by the door’s certification, so the appearance does not come at the cost of performance. Where appropriate, a safe room entrance can also be concealed within the interior, behind a bookcase or panelling, adding discretion and a further layer of protection.
Starting from the risk
A security door is one layer of protection, not the whole answer. Every project starts with an assessment of the property and the risks: a Residential Security Risk Assessment for a home or a site survey for an office. It shows which doors matter, what performance they need and whether a safe room is warranted.
Where they are used
Front and garden entrances
Main and secondary doors that keep the character of the house.
Bedroom and dressing-room safe rooms
A room the family already uses, upgraded into a protected place to retreat.
Studies and libraries
A discreet entrance to a safe room or secure store.
Staff and service entrances
Often the weakest point of a large home, and easily overlooked.
Apartments
Entrance doors that meet the building’s fire and smoke requirements as well as the security requirement.
Executive offices
Secure doors for executive floors, boardrooms and sensitive rooms.
How KSS delivers it
KSS defines the security requirement, selects the right certified doorset and coordinates specialist manufacturers and vetted local installers, managing the project through to handover. Clients have a single point of coordination for specification, shipping, delivery and installation.
The client orders the door directly from the manufacturer, and KSS is paid for project management, by a fee or by the hour, so what is specified follows the risk rather than a margin. Installation is sympathetic to the property.
Safe rooms
A safe room provides a protected place to retreat during an intrusion while help is sought. Its location, construction, access and communications are planned together, alongside fire safety and how the household will use it in an incident.
A safe room can be built new or created from an existing room, such as a bedroom or dressing room. Where it makes sense, construction is carried out locally to the agreed specification, with the door shipped in.
How a project runs
1. Assess
The property and the risks are assessed.
2. Specify
The door, finish and performance are chosen to match the risk and the property.
3. Order and ship
The client orders directly from the manufacturer; KSS manages manufacture, shipping and delivery.
4. Install
Vetted local installers fit the door, with KSS oversight where it forms part of the scope.
5. Hand over
The household or team is briefed on using the door or room.
Working with architects and interior designers
On new builds and refurbishments, KSS works with the client’s architect and interior designer from early in the design, so that secure doors, safe rooms and concealed entrances are planned into the scheme rather than added afterwards. KSS sets the security requirement and manages delivery; the design team keeps control of how it looks.
Security ratings explained
The performance a door needs follows the assessed threat and how the door is used. KSS selects doorsets accordingly and checks the certification or test evidence for the configuration and installation proposed.
In Europe, doorsets are classified under EN 1627, with resistance classes from RC1 to RC6. In the UK, LPS 1175 and STS 202 are also used. The class needed follows the assessed threat and the application.
In Europe, doorsets are classified under EN 1522 and glazing under EN 1063. Each class relates to defined ammunition and test conditions, so the class is matched to the threat assessed. In the US and Canada, UL 752 is the usual standard.
Some doors, including many apartment entrance doors, must also meet fire, smoke and self-closing requirements. These depend on the building and the jurisdiction, and apply to the complete door assembly.
North American standards use different test methods from European ones, so ratings are not interchangeable. A door certified in one country is not automatically accepted in another, particularly for fire, so local requirements are checked before a door is ordered.
FAQs
It can. Doors can be finished to suit the property, inside and out, using finishes and hardware covered by the door’s certification.
Yes, where appropriate. The entrance can be concealed within the interior, behind a bookcase or panelling, with a certified security door behind it.
It depends on the assessed threat and how each door is used. KSS selects the doorset accordingly and checks the certification or test evidence for the configuration proposed.
Often, but apartment entrance doors usually have fire, smoke and self-closing requirements as well as a security requirement, so both are checked before a door is specified.
Yes. Standards differ between countries, so local requirements are checked before a door is ordered, and installation is carried out by vetted local installers coordinated by KSS.
No. KSS defines the requirement, selects specialist manufacturers and vetted local installers, and manages the project from specification to handover. The client orders the door directly from the manufacturer, and installation can be overseen by KSS as part of the scope.
Yes. Every project starts with an assessment, a Residential Security Risk Assessment for a home or a site survey for an office, so the doors and rooms specified match the risk.
Yes. On new builds and refurbishments KSS works with the design team from early on, so security is planned into the scheme rather than added later.
