It’s the fixture that matters!
Having the right fixture is just as important as choosing the right product.
What distinguishes brand products is that they include certified, multipurpose
fixtures. Exceptions to this are specified in the respective fitting instructions.
What do I do if the
base is poor?
The Criminal Investigation Department has devised a specific standard
for upgrading by fitting security devices, DIN 18104-1. This standard
also governs fixture technology.
Extract from DIN 18104-1:
‘If the fixture conditions are poor (soft or hollow or foam base and plastic
window with or without metal inlay and wooden window) and/or it is easy
to attack from outside, more security devices and extra fixtures (composite
mortar or all-through screw fitting or fixing bolts ought to be used).
There should be at least one lockable security device for each door or
window. If the frames themselves are too weak, it may be necessary for
instance to reinforce the frame prior when upgrading security.
