Doors for holding cells, detention cells and prison cells
The SÄLZER door in the S4-Z series is a special product development for use in police stations, courts, prisons, forensic clinics, military facilities and other buildings that require detention cells.
Tested and certified in accordance with the European standard and guidelines for prison and detention cell doors, it features a robust design and offers no opportunities for suicide attempts.
The door is extremely resistant to torsional loads due to the double-walled steel construction. The door leaf thickness up to 72 mm ensures a maximum protection against vandalism and break out attempts. The door leaf consists of an inner reinforced frame made of flat steel profiles and is clad at both door sides with steel sheets. The door has no exposed edges inside therefore there is no risk of injury or for suicide attempts.
For break out resistant products no standard exist. Therefore SÄLZER tested the doors of the S4-Z series in accordance with the standard for forced entry resistance, DIN EN 1627-1630, to ensure proven security. The door was tested from both sides in the resistance level RC 4:
- From the exterior side (corridor side, against forced entry respectively realese attempts) and additionally
- From the interior side (cell side, against break out attempts).
Tested according to the guidelines for cell doors of the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt.
The test results in detail:
- At an edge load of 2 t - the deflection was < 3 mm and
- At a static load of 2.5 t - the deflection was < 6.5 mm and
- At a torsion load of 2.0 t - the deflection was < 4 mm: 1.3 t load / deflection <80 mm).
- Similarly, the door must be operable with a key from the corridor without further technical aids after 15 min. fire exposure inside the cell.

Inspection window
The armoured glass pane in accordance with DIN EN 356 can be integrated into the door leaf in different shapes and sizes up to the highest resistance class. An optional safety screen can be attached on the corridor side.
Fanlight
Video technology and lighting systems, for example, can be installed in the fanlight. It is secured on the cell side with flush-fitted armoured glass in accordance with DIN EN 356.
Quick-release mechanism by means of sliding bolt or handle
