Turvaovet

Turvaovet are security doors designed to deter forced entry and protect occupants and property. They are commonly used at building entrances, service corridors, and other sensitive areas where higher resistance to intrusion is required. Turvaovet often integrate with access control systems and intrusion alarms to provide a coordinated security solution.

Design and materials commonly include a reinforced door core made of steel, aluminum, or composite materials, a strengthened door frame, and a heavy-duty leaf. Surfaces may be coated with powder finishes or veneers for aesthetics and corrosion resistance. Security hardware typically features multi-point locking, strong hinges, reinforced strike plates, and anti-drill or anti-pick cylinders. Some models offer fire resistance or enhanced acoustic isolation in addition to burglary resistance.

Standards and testing for turvaovet in the European context are typically aligned with EN 1627–1631, which classify burglary resistance from RC1 to RC6. Fire resistance is addressed by EN 1634-1 where applicable. Doors may carry CE marking or national certificates demonstrating conformity with relevant standards. Modern turvaovet may also include electronic components, such as integrated smart locks, access control, and alarm integration, to complement physical security.

Installation and maintenance require trained professionals to ensure proper fit and function. The frame must be securely anchored to the building structure, and correct alignment of hinges, locks, and weather seals is essential. Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving parts, testing locking mechanisms, and inspecting seals and hardware for wear.

Use of turvaovet varies by risk level, building type, and local regulations. Higher burglary resistance ratings and, when needed, fire-rated variants are common in commercial or high-security environments, while residential installations may require lower RC levels.
