Manufacturers and suppliers of fire door hardware and components, Rutland Door Controls have tested their RLP Letterplate to the newest standard set by the dhf. The RLP Letterplate makes one section of the new Entrance Door Hardware Collection (Rutland’s Frontier Collection). Rutlands RLP Letterplate has been tested to the new dhf standard of TS008:2022; with the original version of TS008:2015 being withdrawn. Rutland Door Controls are putting their efforts into educating and spreading knowledge to local councils and housing associations to support best practices on keeping up to date with standards on hardware. The new standard of TS008:2022 looks at the opportunist attacks that might take place in a resident’s home. TS 008:2022’s key improvement is the ‘fishing’ test, which ensures adequate resistance against key fishing. For example, if keys that might be on top of a hallway table. The Rutland RLP Letterplate is stringent towards these new standards. Alfie Hosker, Technical Manager at Secured by Design, said “Rutland are one of the first companies to supersede the withdrawn standard dhf TS008:2015 and ensure their letterplate meets the latest enhanced security requirements in industry in regards their letter plate to be UKAS 3rd party tested and certified to dhf TS008:2008:2022. It is imperative that where possible the latest security standards are met to ensure that products can meet the evolving criminal threat. I have been involved with Rutland over the years and I am fully aware that they strive to achieve the highest quality hardware that meets the latest industry standards”. Neil Smith, Fire Door Certification of Rutland Door Controls added, “This letterplate has truly been designed as the fitter’s friend, from easy to fit through to latest compliance.
