Robust, a UK manufacturer of steel door solutions, has launched TEMP-DOR, a temporary door solution that enables businesses to secure their premises following break-ins or door damage.
The TEMP-DOR system represents a move away from traditional boarding-up methods to offer a secure, reusable steel door solution, which is designed to maintain building security until a permanent replacement is available.
This approach provides door installers and facility management professionals with a more stylish, secure and cost-effective alternative to emergency boarding or manned security services.
Robust says TEMP-DOR’s versatility sets it apart from its competitors. The system features an adjustable frame which can accommodate openings from 875mm to 1095mm wide, whilst its modular design enables rapid on-site assembly. The door can be configured for both left-hand and right-hand openings and for inward or outward opening, ensuring compatibility with different building requirements. It is also durable, built to withstand unauthorised access attempts and weather exposure, at a time when buildings are at their most vulnerable. The door is manufactured with an escape sashlock compliant with BS EN 179.
According to the latest Commercial Victimisation Survey (CVS) there were an estimated 146,000 burglaries (including attempts) against business premises in England and Wales (2023). This figure represents 8% of all business premises and is a rise from previous years, indicating the prevalence of these crimes across the UK.
Jason Robinson, technical director at Robust, explains: "TEMP-DOR represents a game-changing solution for door installers and FM professionals, enabling them to secure their customers’ premises quickly in an emergency. It eliminates the need for unreliable temporary boarding or expensive man guarding and is highly effective in maintaining building integrity whilst presenting a professional appearance.”
For door installers, TEMP-DOR presents a business opportunity, according to Robust. The reusable nature of the system allows installers or FM professionals to generate additional income by renting the doors to customers as secure temporary solutions.
The fact that TEMP-DOR is reusable makes it compatible with sustainability and circular economy principles. TEMP-DOR is immediately available for collection from Robust or next day delivery.
