Secured by Design is the initiative owned by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) that aims to reduce crime through effective environmental design. It is widely recognised within the building industry and is increasingly being listed as a mandatory requirement in tenders.
dormakaba is proud to be a member of Secured by Design, sharing the aspirations of SBD in ‘designing out’ crime through the use of high-quality, innovative products and processes.
In order to achieve Secured by Design status, our mechanical key systems (MKS) have had to adhere to rigorous test standards required by the police.
Key attributes of SBD:
- Secured by Design is the only way for products to achieve police recognition in the UK.
- The principles of Secured by Design have been proven to reduce the risk of crime and the fear of crime.
- Secured by Design’s membership scheme currently includes more than 800 member companies whose products and services have met the required standards.
- The Secured by Design brand is owned and operated by Police Crime Prevention Initiatives on behalf of the UK police services.
The benefits of SBD:
- In West Yorkshire, research demonstrated that newly built developments built to Secured by Design standards are up to 75% less likely to be burgled. A study by Police Scotland (2017) of 3,000 housing association homes built on more than 150 developments in Fife, East Central Scotland, found reductions in crime of 87% every year.
- In Glasgow, research demonstrated that refurbished developments employing Secured by Design principles are up to 63% less likely to experience crime.
- Householders who aren’t offered security recommendations after a burglary are more likely to suffer a repeat incident than those who are offered advice.
- The London 2012 Olympic Park and the 2014 Commonwealth Games Village were awarded full Secured by Design status. Dormakaba products played a pivotal role in the creation of the Olympic Park including the installation of pextra cylinders within the Olympic Village
