Whether you’re a site manager or business owner, the last thing you want is a 2am call informing you that intruders have cut through your perimeter gate. Not only have they stolen thousands of pounds worth of stock, but weeks later, halfway through the insurance claim, you discover the gate wasn’t certified to withstand more than a minute of tampering.
You’re left with a rejected claim, significant financial losses, and major disruption to your operations.
For installers, specifying a certified gate from the outset isn’t just best practice – it’s a crucial step in protecting your client’s site and your own professional reputation.
No matter if you’re securing a data centre, construction site, office, or logistics hub, not all gates offer the same level of protection. That’s where recognised security accreditations, like LPS 1175 come into play, providing assurance that a product has been properly tested to withstand advanced intrusion attempts.
In this blog, we’ll explore what LPS 1175 certification is and how our range of SR gates delivers unmatched protection across multiple sectors.
What is LPS 1175 and why does it matter?
LPS 1175 is an internationally recognised security standard developed by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB). It assesses the physical resistance of security products like security gates, doors and barriers.
Using a time-based grading system, from SR1 to SR8, it measures how long a security product can resist increasingly determined intruders using specified tools. If a product is LPS 1175 certified, it will also appear in the RedBook Live directory as proof that it has been independently tested.
This level of assurance is essential for many high-risk sectors such as utilities, logistics, and data storage, where compliance and insurance requirements are stricter.
Ultimately, LPS 1175 accreditation is the difference between hoping your security solutions hold up under pressure and knowing they will.
What are the different security ratings and what do they mean
