'Secured by Design' is the official UK Police flagship initiative supporting the principles of 'designing out crime' through innovation and testing of security products in the marketplace.
'Secured by Design' focuses on real crime prevention for homes and commercial premises and promotes the use of security standards for a wide range of applications and security based products. The 'Secured by Design' status applies to the SWS SeceuroGuard 1001 and the Seceuroshield 3801 shutters.
The principles have been proven to achieve a reduction of crime risk by up to 75%, by combining minimum standards of physical security and well-tested principles of natural surveillance and defensible space.
The long term objective of the secured by design initiative is to reduce burglary and crime in the UK by designing out crime through physical security and processes. It applies to how architects and developers approach new build projects, especially where larger construction projects are required. The entire scheme is scrutinised to ensure the best long term approach to safety and security within the scheme making the houses and other infrastrucure appealing to prospective inhabitants.
Samson Doors offer many high quality building products with secured by design ratings, level 1 through to level 4. Steel and aluminium security shutters and grilles, steel security door sets, roller and up and over garage doors and other home and industry products, all designed, tested and approved to give you the very best levels of security and crime prevention as an ongoing measure not just a short term fix.

What does it mean for you?
Having a secured by design product, especially with a level rating of any kind will mean added security every time as the products have been tested firstly but then also have to be installed with specific criteria to ensure the very best resistance to forced attack. With this kind of approach quite often it helps promote a far more intense analysis of the potential security issues and how they may be tackled with physical barriers and this means there are no last minure, knee jerk purchases of cheap, inferior security products which often look terrible and do not perform long term.
