Defence, Security & Emergency Services

Security Door Solutions for Demanding Environments

Defence, police and emergency service facilities require robust access solutions where security, reliability and long-term performance are critical. TS Designs manufactures bespoke aluminium and LPS 1175 security-rated stainless-steel doors, gates and walling systems suitable for a wide range of defence, security and blue-light environments. From secure facilities and police estates to plant rooms, emergency exits and critical infrastructure, our products can be designed around the security, access and operational requirements of the individual application.

Supporting Defence & Blue-Light Estates

Defence and emergency service estates contain a diverse range of buildings, infrastructure and operational areas, each with different levels of security and access requirements. Our products can support applications including:

• Secure buildings and facilities
• Police and emergency service estates
• Secure storage areas
• Plant and utility rooms
• Electrical substations and infrastructure
• Emergency and personnel exits
• Service and maintenance areas
• Security compounds
• Security-rated gates and walling
• Bespoke ventilation and louvre requirements

Experience in Security-Sensitive Environments

TS Designs has experience supplying doors for defence, police and other security-sensitive applications. Previous projects include security doors for a police facility in Northern Ireland and a secure firearms storage facility, alongside current work supporting defence-sector projects requiring security-rated doors. While our experience within this sector continues to grow, it is supported by decades of designing and manufacturing bespoke doors for critical infrastructure and other demanding environments where security, durability and reliability are essential.

Security Rated, Bespoke by Design

Security requirements can vary considerably depending on the facility and application. wOur stainless steel security door range includes LPS 1175 certified solutions, providing independently tested protection for applications requiring enhanced physical security. Doors can be manufactured in bespoke sizes and configurations, with locking, access control, emergency exit hardware and ventilation requirements considered as part of the overall design.

Built for Long-Term Performance

Security should not come at the expense of durability. Our aluminium and stainless steel products are designed for long-term performance and will not rust, rot or warp, helping reduce ongoing maintenance and replacement requirements across demanding estates. With a 20-year warranty on the door leaf and frame, our products provide a robust, fit-and-forget approach to protecting important assets and infrastructure.

Designed Around the Application

There is no standard solution for every defence or emergency service environment. Our strength is our ability to design around the application rather than make the application fit the product. Whether the requirement is for a security-rated doorset, secure storage area, plant room, emergency exit, gate or wider physical security solution, TS Designs can work with main contractors, security consultants, architects, facilities teams and specifiers to develop a solution around the individual project requirements.
