Six sectors. One factory. The same engineering team behind every steel door, window and frame that reaches an NHS trust, an EV substation, a hyperscale data centre, or a Part Q housing scheme.
Fort Engineering manufactures for sectors with hard compliance environments. Counter-terror reviews, NHS framework procurement, CPNI guidance, Building Regulations Part Q, Secured by Design. The six sectors below are where the work concentrates.
Each sector page covers the same ground: which products typically apply, which Security Rating the standards call for, which compliance frameworks the procurement team will check against, and which of our customer brands actually fulfils the order.
This page exists to confirm the manufacturer covers your sector. The sector pages exist to confirm the products. The customer brands exist to take the order. We don’t try to do all three from one page.

– 02 / 04
Sectors served
Each one with its own compliance language, its own typical Security Rating, and its own page if you want the detail.
01 / Sector
Counter-terror considerations, BB67 / BB68 references, lockdown classroom doors. Schools, colleges, and universities working to Run-Hide-Tell-aligned design.
02 / Sector
NHS procurement frameworks. Mental health unit doors, anti-ligature hardware, secure drug stores, psychiatric ward fabric. PAS 24 minimum, higher SR where the threat profile calls for it.
03 / Sector
Electrical substations, gas storage, water treatment, EV charging hubs. The growing end of the market sits here – SR3 minimum is now standard, SR4 for sites carrying CPNI guidance.
04 / Sector
Physical security as the outer layer of a wider data security framework. Hyperscale and colocation operators specify SR3 minimum at the perimeter, with EMC / EMP shielding on the higher tiers.
05 / Sector
Housing associations and social housing developers. PAS 24 is mandatory under Building Regulations Part Q for new build. Secured by Design accreditation often sits alongside it as the procurement requirement.
06 / Sector
Shopfront security, end-of-day shutters, anti-ram-raid features. Built to absorb repeated impact and stay shut, not to look good in a brochure shot and fail at the second hit.
Specifier reference
A quick reference of which Security Rating the standards typically call for in each sector, with the compliance frameworks a procurement team will check first.

Detail
Ratings above are typical specification baselines, not Fort Engineering capability limits. The factory certifies LPS 1175 SR1 through SR8. The right rating for any project depends on threat assessment, insurance specification, and the procurement team’s brief – the sector pages and the LPS 1175 page cover the detail.
Four independently issued certifications. The PDFs are downloadable from each standard’s page.

For B2B sector procurement that’s usually Fort Security Doors. Fort Engineering manufactures, the customer brand takes the order.
