Security Testing
A hinged Armashield door set with Surelock McGill D4 three point locking was subjected to a Level 4 attack according to AS3555-1988 "Building Elements - Testing and Rating for Intruder Resistance".
Two men attacked the door set with common hand & power tools and succeeded in removing the door leaf from its frame (thus forming an opening in the door set) after 27 minutes 30 seconds.
Ballistic Testing
The standard Armashield door set has been successfully tested to AS/NZS 2343:1997 “Bullet resistant panels and elements” with ratings of:
- G2 .44 Magnum
- S0 Shotgun 12 gauge 32g SG shot
A version of the Armashield is available tested to R2 rating.
Ballistic rated door sets require either a fully-grouted frame installation to masonry or concrete walls, or else ballistic protection built into the frame during manufacture. Matching Ballistic Wall Panels are described in a separate section.
Explosive Blast Testing
The Pacific ARMASHIELD single leaf doorset is tested to level EXR 2 of EN 13124:2004 “Windows, doors and shutters – Explosion resistance”.
An explosive charge of 3 kg TNT was detonated 3 metres away from the door.
The Pacific ARMASHIELD pair doorset is tested to level EXR 1 (3 kg TNT at 5 metres).
Note: Vision panels are not an option for blast resistant doorsets. Hardware is limited.
