Loxta Hardware Joins Secured by Design: Elevating Our Security Credentials
Loxta Hardware,
We are proud to announce that Loxta Hardware has been accepted as a member of Secured by Design (SBD), the official police security initiative. This achievement marks a significant milestone in our mission to design and manufacture hardware solutions that prioritise security without compromising on style.
What is Secured by Design?
Secured by Design is a police initiative that works with industry to improve security standards in the built environment. Established in 1989, SBD has driven improvements in security standards across a range of sectors, from residential housing to commercial property.
Products that achieve SBD status undergo rigorous testing and assessment to ensure they meet specific security requirements designed to prevent crime. These standards are based on proven crime prevention principles and go beyond the minimum UK specifications.
What This Means for Our Customers
For architects, developers, contractors, and homeowners who specify Loxta Hardware products, our SBD membership provides several important benefits:
- Police-Recognised Security Standards: Our products are now officially recognised by UK police forces as meeting strict security criteria, providing additional peace of mind.
- Crime Prevention Through Design: By incorporating SBD principles, our hardware contributes to the overall security strategy of buildings, potentially reducing the risk of crime.
- Compliance Confidence: For developments requiring SBD compliance, specifying Loxta products helps satisfy these requirements while maintaining design integrity.
- Enhanced Product Development: Our participation in the SBD scheme informs our product development process, ensuring security remains at the forefront of our innovations.
Championing Secure and Sustainable Design
“Joining Secured by Design aligns perfectly with our design philosophy at Loxta Hardware,” says Shaun Singh, MD at Loxta Hardware. “We’ve always believed that security features should be integrated seamlessly into elegant hardware solutions. Our SBD membership validates this approach and strengthens our dedication to creating products that protect people and property without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.”
This achievement comes at an exciting time for Loxta Hardware, as we continue to increase our manufacturing capacity. The increased capabilities of our expanded premises, combined with our enhanced security credentials through SBD membership, position us to better serve customers seeking premium hardware solutions that don’t compromise on security.
Looking Forward
As a Secured by Design member, Loxta Hardware will continue to develop our product range with security as a primary consideration. We look forward to working alongside SBD, the police, and our industry partners to promote the importance of designed-in security features in the built environment.
For developers and architects involved in SBD projects, we welcome the opportunity to discuss how our approved products can help you meet requirements while enhancing the quality and appeal of your developments.
