Construction Security
Security doors protect your building’s weak points. Start with your risk assessment – burglars look for easy targets. The right door turns them away.
Steel security doors come in different grades. SR2 suits basic sites. SR3 stops determined attacks. SR4 protects high-value areas. Match the grade to your needs and budget.
Locks make a big difference. Multi-point locking systems spread the force of attacks. Anti-snap cylinders block common break-in methods. Keep spare keys secure – most break-ins use stolen keys.
Think about daily use too. Fire escape rules still apply. Staff need quick access in emergencies. Balance security with practical needs. Simple systems work better than complex ones.
Add electronic access control for better security. Cards or fobs track who enters. Systems log all access attempts. You’ll spot suspicious patterns quickly. Lost cards get cancelled instantly.
CCTV near doors deters trouble. Cameras catch attempts to force entry. Recording systems provide evidence if needed. Signs warning of CCTV stop many thieves.
Regular maintenance keeps security working. Check hinges and locks monthly. Oil moving parts. Replace worn items before they fail. Good care makes doors last longer.
Modern doors link to building systems. Fire alarms trigger automatic unlocking. Time locks control access periods. Central systems monitor everything. Updates happen remotely.
Backup power keeps security running. Battery systems bridge power cuts. Manual override systems provide emergency access. Test these systems regularly.
Good security starts at the door. Pick the right grade. Install it properly. Maintain it well. Train your people. Simple steps prevent big problems.

How often should I inspect lifting equipment?
Check your lifting equipment before every use. Look for wear on chains, ropes and hooks. Watch for rust or damage. Get a qualified inspector to do a thorough check every 6 months. Keep detailed records of all inspections. Replace any worn parts immediately – safety comes first. The law requires regular inspections, but smart operators go beyond the minimum. Your team’s lives depend on well-maintained lifting gear.
What’s the best way to secure tools overnight?
Start with a secure compound – solid fencing and good lighting. Store tools in steel containers with anti-theft locks. Mark all tools with your company details. Keep an updated inventory with photos and serial numbers. Consider GPS trackers for expensive kit. Remember – most tool theft happens through unlocked doors or poor security habits.
What security rating do I need for my site doors?
Your doors need to match your risk level. A basic construction site needs LPS 1175 SR2 as minimum. High-value sites should use SR3 or SR4. Talk to your insurer – they often have specific requirements. The right rating protects your assets and keeps your premiums down. Don’t forget about hinges and locks – they need the same security level as the door itself.
