Tested to TS008:2022, this letter plate can withstand attempts to tamper or manipulate, providing peace of mind for your building's occupants.

Secured by Design & Kitemark Certified
The FRONTIER letter plate is BSI Kitemark to TS008:2022, meaning it has been independently tested by third party certification bodies. It’s also Secured by Design (SBD), an official police initiative that sets the bar for crime prevention through product design.
Products carrying the Secured by Design certification must meet security performance requirements, making this letter plate a preferred specification. By selecting this letter plate you’ll be ensuring your property is equipped with hardware that deters criminal behaviour.
As part of our broader range of security products, the Supra C500 KeySafe is another item that carries the Secured by Design certification. This heavy duty key safe offers a secure way to store access keys outside your property, while meeting high standards of security.
Corrosion Resistance for Longevity
Longevity is just as important as security, especially for door hardware exposed to outdoor elements. This letter box for external doors has been rigorously tested to meet the BS EN 1670 corrosion resistance standard. With results demonstrating 240 hours (Grade 4) resistance for the nickel and brass finishes and 480 hours (Grade 5) for the powder coated option, it is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
This makes it a reliable choice for external doors, offering extended service life particularly in coastal areas where corrosion is a greater risk.
PAS 24: Enhanced Security Performance
The TS008 letter plate has been included on a successful PAS 24 tested doorset, meaning it’s been evaluated as a critical component for resisting forced entry.
This test involves several stages, including manipulation, cutting, and impact testing. The PAS 24 standard ensures that the letter plate can withstand a variety of attacks from burglars, making it suitable for residential use or commercial properties.
Please note that PAS 24 certification applies to a complete doorset, meaning the door and all its components are tested as a whole. Therefore, while the TS008 letter plate can assist in compliance, it cannot be PAS 24 approved on its own.
Fire Rated Letter Plate for Extra Protection
When installed with the appropriate intumescent this letter plate is suitable for 30 minute rated fire doors. The intumescent kit is available separately as it is not included with the letter plate.
In the event of a fire, the intumescent material expands when exposed to heat, sealing the gap in the door to slow down the spread of flames and smoke. This provides valuable time for occupants of the building to safely evacuate and for the emergency services to arrive.
Style Meets Functionality
A secure letter plate doesn’t have to look industrial. This Rutland letter box for doors comes in a variety of finishes giving you the flexibility to match it to your building's overall aesthetic. It is an ideal choice whether you're installing it on a contemporary office building or a traditional home.
The nickel, white, and brass letter plates complement other items of door hardware in the Rutland range, including their door closers, allowing you can achieve a cohesive look throughout the property, combining style with functionality.
