Detention Security Hollow Metal Doors and Frames

Product Testing & Specification Compliance

ASP engineers and manufactures its security products to the strictest architectural criteria and testing standards. ASP products have undergone years of continually upgraded certification testing, administered and witnessed by authorized testing laboratories. Tests include impact and destruct testing whereby doors and frames are subjected to repeated 200 lb. blows from mechanical battering rams simulating thousands of blows, prison abuse, and riot conditions. Successful completion and certification of these stringent testing requirements is one of the many prerequisites necessary to be an approved manufacturer of prison products.

ASP detention doors and frames have been performance tested and achieved compliance with the following guidelines and standards:

HMMA 863 – Guide Specifications for Detention Security Hollow Metal Doors and Frames.
