Burglar resistance RC2

European burglar-resistance class per EN 1627: holds for 3 minutes against a casual burglar with simple tools.

Definition

The EN 1627 standard classifies doors by burglar resistance into 6 levels (RC1 to RC6). RC2 is the recommended level for a detached house in Luxembourg: the door resists for at least 3 minutes an attempt with screwdriver, crowbar and wedges. Most burglars give up when a break-in takes more than a few minutes.

What makes an RC2 door

  • Multi-point lock with 3 or 5 anchor points.
  • Anti-drill and anti-pull cylinder.
  • Reinforced hinges with anti-lift pins.
  • Door leaf and frame reinforced against prising attacks.
  • Additional mechanical locking at the bottom.

Hörmann RC2 in practice

  • The LPU 67 Thermo comes with RC2 burglar-resistant equipment as standard; it is optional on the LPU 42 (on quotation).
  • Equipment certified to EN 1627.
  • Possible home-insurance discount in Luxembourg - confirm with your insurer.

Frequently asked questions

Is RC2 enough for a house in Luxembourg?

Yes, RC2 is the level generally recommended for a detached house. RC3 is only justified for high-risk properties (jewellers, storage of valuables); Hörmann does not offer it on its sectional garage doors anyway.
