Avansa Record Room Door: Fireproof Doors For Your Documents

⚙️ Technical Specs

Avansa Record Room Doors are engineered for superior protection, offering robust construction designed to secure valuable assets and sensitive information. Our strong room doors are available in CAT1 and CAT2 ratings, ensuring compliance with industry security standards for light or heavy-duty applications. Each door features a multi-layered steel plate construction, providing significant resistance against forced entry attempts, drilling, and cutting. The sophisticated boltwork system includes multiple active and passive bolts that engage firmly with the door frame, making it incredibly difficult to pry open. Our standard locking mechanisms are high-security key locks, with advanced digital or combination locks available as an upgrade, offering enhanced access control. Depending on the specific model and category, the overall door thickness provides substantial protection, with heavy-duty options designed to withstand prolonged attacks. These doors are built for longevity, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments across Southern Africa.

🎯 Ideal Applications

The Avansa Record Room Door is an indispensable asset for businesses requiring robust, certified security solutions across Southern Africa. It is perfectly suited for:

Financial Institutions:

Ensuring the highest level of security for bank vaults, cash offices, and sensitive document archives in busy urban centres like Johannesburg and rural branches across Zambia.

Retail Chains: 

Protecting daily cash takings, high-value inventory, and important records in large retail outlets and smaller shops, especially where secure overnight storage is critical.

Safeguarding valuable goods, customs documents, and high-value items in secure storage areas within distribution centres and warehouses across the region.

💡 How It Works

The Avansa Record Room Door operates on a principle of layered security and robust engineering. Upon closing, multiple heavy-duty bolts extend from the door into the surrounding frame, securing it at various points. These bolts are controlled by a high-security locking mechanism, typically a key lock, combination dial, or digital keypad, which can be tailored to your specific access control needs. The multi-layered construction of the door itself, often incorporating reinforced steel, provides a formidable barrier designed to resist a range of physical attacks including prying, drilling, and cutting tools. The door frame is reinforced to integrate seamlessly with your strong room structure, ensuring a holistic security solution. Access is granted only to authorised personnel, providing peace of mind that your valuable assets are protected.
