VBH extends SBD Membership for 2026

Hardware specialist VBH has extended its membership of Secured by Design for another year.

Secured by Design (SBD) is the official police security initiative of Police CPI. Its aim is to improve the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings by providing a recognised standard, the Police Preferred Specification, for all security products that can deter and reduce crime.

VBH has a wide portfolio of hardware for windows, residential doors and sliding patio doors on its list of approved hardware products. In addition to a wide selection of hardware from VBH’s own greenteQ brand, the list also includes products from selected supply partners including AGB, Avantis, Roto, Securistyle and Yale.

Rob Norman, Technical Director at VBH, said: “Our continued membership of SBD re-affirms VBH’s commitment to develop and supply top quality window and door hardware that is designed to meet and exceed current security standards.

“Our schedule of SBD approved products is a ‘must-read’ for door, window and patio door manufacturers who put their products through PAS24 testing and third-party certification. There is a wide selection of locking/operating systems, cylinders, hinges and more to choose from, all of which has been tested to PAS24.”
