CARMEL, IND. - October 19, 2010 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today announced compliance with the United States Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria - Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. Military and government installations, such as housing, hospitals, embassies, office buildings and other facilities can obtain Steelcraft's most popular standard series honeycomb or steel-stiffened core models with multiple glazing and hardware options, with the top blast-resistant rating of "No Hazard." These specifications have been established to provide an enhanced level of protection for personnel from the threat of vehicle-borne explosives.

"Traditionally, door specifiers have been forced to rely on specialty door manufacturers for doors built to withstand any level of blast resistant ratings," reports Matt Guise, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies category leader, doors, frames and accessories. "Among Steel Door Institute members, Steelcraft has invested in the testing that has led to a rating of 'No Hazard,' the very top blast-resistant rating."

Meeting guidelines as specified under UFC 4-010-01, Steelcraft testing leverages an approved "shock tube" technology that realistically simulates blast impact in a controlled environment. Results of this testing have scientifically demonstrated that the Steelcraft doors met and even exceeded the UFC and ATFP minimum standards for blast-resistant designation.

All such doors are standard series, carry no premium pricing and are available through Steelcraft's Rapid (10 day) program. When specifying and ordering, availability is from a single source.
