Blockade entrance doorsets from Multisecure continue to play an important role in the regeneration of what was once one of Brixton’s worst ‘sink’ estates, meeting the requirements of the Secured by Design initiative.

A further 36 security doorsets, in addition to over 150 previously supplied, have just been installed to communal and individual flat entries in the latest phase of developments within Brixton’s Angell Town Estate. Multisecure has worked closely with contractor Higgins Construction plc to develop the best secure entry solutions for the Lambeth Housing Association project. Blockade doorsets utilise composite timber constructions with flush facings in stained or painted finishes. These can be decorated with optional mouldings and glazed panels – now including coloured glass - in a wide choice of styles. Frames can be hardwood, PVCu or the unique ARMACLAD steel system that up-grades existing frames to high security. Fully finished Blockade doorsets are pre-hung in the factory, then supplied complete with seals and other accessories, including a choice of security locks.

Multisecure was the first door manufacturer to gain ‘Secured by Design’ (SBD) accreditation with successful testing of a Blockade doorset to the latest PAS 23 and 24 test standards carried out at a UKAS test laboratory. SBD is a police initiative designed to encourage crime prevention measures in the design, development and refurbishment of buildings, applying to both residential and commercial properties.
