As a high-profile affordable housing and independent living scheme, the project required doorsets that delivered:
Enhanced security performance suitable for residential blocks
Compliance with SR2 security standards
An architectural finish aligned with the design intent of the development
A key challenge was achieving SR2-rated protection without compromising the aesthetic vision of the scheme. The entrance doors needed to contribute positively to the building façade, rather than appearing purely functional or industrial.
Design & Supply manufactured 21 bespoke LPS 1175 SR2-rated steel security doorsets with Lourve panels, along with 3 LPS 1175 SR2-rated glazed doorsets for designated areas within the blocks.
The standout feature of this package was the integration of a precision-engineered decorative panel design into the steel doorsets. The patterned perforated aesthetic requested by the client created a distinctive architectural statement while maintaining SR2 security performance.
This approach allowed the doors to:
Deliver certified SR2 resistance to protect against opportunistic break-in attempts
Enhance the visual identity of the entrances
Complement the contemporary brick façade of the development
By combining security engineering with architectural detailing, the doorsets achieved both performance and architectural design objectives.
The completed installation demonstrates that high-security steel doors do not need to compromise on visual impact.
Our bespoke LPS 1175 SR2 doorsets contribute to a secure, modern residential environment while supporting the architectural quality of the Watling Gardens redevelopment. The project showcases how security-rated products can be engineered to meet demanding performance standards without compromising design intent.
