10/10 Security Rating

The Asec Birmingham Bar is a robust security reinforcement solution designed to fortify timber door frames. By mounting directly to the frame on the lock side, it provides critical resistance against jemmying and forced entry techniques that target the frame's integrity.

This straight version is specifically intended for use with doors that utilise mortice locks. Unlike offset bars designed to bypass rim lock staples, the flat profile ensures a secure, flush fit alongside the mortice strike plate. It is an essential component for high-risk areas or as part of a comprehensive security upgrade for existing doorways.

The bar works by distributing the force of an impact across the length of the frame, significantly reducing the likelihood of the timber splitting or the lock failing under pressure. It is suitable for both new installations and as a remedial measure to reinforce frames that may have been previously weakened or damaged. The bar comes pre-drilled for efficient fixing to the door surround.

FAQs

The Birmingham bar is a heavy-duty reinforcement bar designed to be fitted along the door frame. It provides a robust defense against forced entry by strengthening the frame and preventing it from splitting or failing when pressure is applied during an attempted break-in.

This specific Birmingham bar features a straight design that is intended for doors fitted with mortice locks only. It is not suitable for doors equipped with rim locks or night latches, which would require a bar with a specific cut-out to accommodate the lock hardware.

The Asec Birmingham Bar is available in multiple lengths and finishes to suit different door frames. The White and Brown options come in a standard length of 1980mm and a width of 16mm, making them suitable for most standard full-height door installations.

By reinforcing the door frame on the internal side, the bar ensures that the timber remains intact under extreme force. It distributes the impact of an attack across the entire height of the bar, making it much more difficult for an intruder to kick in or pry open the door.
