What is Secured by Design?

Secured by Design (SBD) is an official police security initiative launched in 1989 with the goal of “designing out crime” by encouraging the use of high-quality security solutions in the built environment. This initiative works closely with businesses, developers, and manufacturers to create safer buildings, environments, and communities by minimising opportunities for criminal activity.

The scheme certifies products that have been rigorously tested to meet stringent security standards, helping to prevent crimes such as mail theft and vandalism. Securing SBD approval means our products have undergone extensive evaluation to ensure they offer superior protection against security threats.

2-Hour Fire-Rated Mail and Parcel Boxes

These boxes combine the best in security and fire protection, meeting both SBD Homes standards and offering exceptional resistance to fire risks. Perfect for both residential and commercial properties, they ensure peace of mind in any situation.

The fire-rated test is conducted by firstly removing the backs of our mailboxes, before placing them in a furnace at 1030°C for 136 minutes. Despite the intense heat, our mailboxes maintained their integrity, successfully achieving the two-hour fire rating certification in accordance with BS EN 1363-1:2012. The tests covered freestanding units as well as those installed in both masonry and plasterboard walls.
