Security

Aluminium is not only insulating, but also extremely secure. The possibilities of making the glass, window profiles and matching fitting systems both burglar-proof and fire/smokeproof are endless.


Protection against burglary

Do you have additional requirements with respect to security?

No problem, Reynaers provides you with a choice of five levels of burglary and bullet resistance. Just as an example, we are able to produce our tilt/turn windows with several locks on the window’s various sides. We also have safeguards that ensure that the position of windows can only be changed if they are closed first.

And thieves will be left out in the cold…


Locks for extra security


Various options exist for the additional security of aluminium windows and doors. For example in the shape of special security fittings with several locking points and a deadbolt. In addition the hardware is fitted with an anti-drill plate and an anti-lift device. This makes it nearly impossible for thieves to drill the lock or break open the window using a crowbar. 

           

Questions and Answers Secure

In order to determine the degree of protection against burglary, resistance categories were created (in accordance with European norm ENV 1627-1630). This classification is based on perpetrator type, behaviour, area of application, risk and application recommendation. There are six classes of resistance.

  • In RC 1 building components provide basic protection against burglary attempts using physical violence (kicking, jumping, shoving, pushing up, yanking away, etc.). These building components do not provide a lot of protection against the use of crowbars.
  • In RC 2 the impulse thief tries to break into the closed and locked building component using simple tools (screwdrivers and pliers).
  • In RC 3 the perpetrator tries to break into the closed and locked building component using a second tool (crowbar or cordless drill).
  • In RC 4 we are dealing with a professional thief who carries additional sawing and percussion tools (gouge, chisel, hammer, etc.) in order to break into the building component.
  • In RC 5 and 6 the burglar uses further tools such as a grinding disc, electric drill and sledge hammer.

All Reynaers systems at the very least satisfy the legal requirements for resistance class 2.
