Overview
Alpha builds two standard anti-bandit security door models for commercial and high-risk buildings, each specified for a different level of risk:
- Anti-Bandit Door (G1) — designed to protect personnel and assets against small arms attacks.
- POLAR® Security Door (G2) — a higher-security model for internal and external use, meeting a greater level of protection than the G1.
Both models share a reinforced bullet-resistant core, a stainless steel channel frame, and a lock protection stile that restricts access to the locking mechanism itself — a common point of failure in doors that otherwise resist forced entry.
Applications
Anti-Bandit Door (G1): offices, banking halls, internal residential doors, embassies.
POLAR® Security Door (G2): control buildings, power stations and substations, embassies and diplomatic residences, financial institutions.
Performance
Both models are specified against SABS 1658-1996, the South African test standard for security doors. The POLAR® (G2) model is also specified against BS 5051.
Available configurations
Both models are manufactured in single-leaf format only — neither is available as a double-leaf door. Surface finish is available in veneer or steel.
Finishes
- Veneer surface finish
- Steel surface finish
Hardware
- Continuous geared hinge (standard)
- High-security lock, protected by a lock protection stile
- 3mm pressed metal mild steel or galvanised frame options
Certifications and compliance
Alpha's security doors are tested and certified to SABS 1658-1996, and the POLAR® (G2) model also to BS 5051. Test reports are held on file and not published online, because they contain proprietary construction detail. Certification evidence can be reviewed or supplied on request for a specified project — contact Alpha through the enquiry form or by phone.
