PAS 24 Doors and Insurance Premiums

When it comes to securing your home, investing in high-quality, secure doors is a must. PAS24 certified doors have become increasingly popular due to their enhanced security features and ability to deter potential intruders. But did you know that installing PAS24 doors can also help lower your insurance premiums? In this article, we'll explore the relationship between PAS24 doors and insurance premiums, and how choosing certified doors can save you money in the long run.

What are PAS24 Doors?

PAS24 is a British Standard that sets out the minimum requirements for enhanced security performance of external doorsets. Doors that meet the PAS24 standard have been rigorously tested to withstand common methods of attack, such as kicking, shoulder-barging, and attempts to manipulate locks.

Some key features of PAS24 doors include:

• Reinforced frames and hinges
• Multi-point locking systems
• Anti-drill and anti-bump cylinders
• Toughened glass panels (if applicable)

The Benefits of PAS24 Certification

Choosing PAS24 certified doors for your home offers several advantages:

• Enhanced security: PAS24 doors are designed to resist common methods of forced entry, providing an extra layer of protection for your home and family.
• Peace of mind: Knowing that your doors meet stringent security standards can give you peace of mind and help you feel safer in your own home.
• Increased property value: Installing PAS24 doors can increase the value of your property, as potential buyers appreciate the added security features.
• Lower insurance premiums: Many insurance providers offer discounts for homes with PAS24 certified doors, as they recognize the reduced risk of break-ins.

PAS24 Doors and Insurance Premiums

Insurance companies assess the risk associated with insuring a property based on various factors, including the level of security. Homes with PAS24 certified doors are considered lower risk, as these doors have been proven to deter and resist attempted break-ins.

As a result, many insurance providers offer reduced premiums for homes with PAS24 doors. The discounts can vary depending on the insurer and the specific policy, but homeowners can typically expect to save between 5% and 20% on their insurance premiums.

To qualify for these discounts, you may need to provide proof that your doors meet the PAS24 standard. This can be in the form of a certificate or documentation from the door manufacturer or installer.

Comparing the Cost of PAS24 Doors to Standard Doors

While PAS24 doors may have a higher upfront cost compared to standard doors, the long-term savings on insurance premiums can make them a worthwhile investment. Additionally, the added security and peace of mind provided by PAS24 doors can be invaluable.

When considering the cost of PAS24 doors, it's essential to factor in the potential savings on insurance premiums over the life of the door. In many cases, the cumulative savings can offset the initial higher cost of the PAS24 door.
