Extended holiday periods — whether winter escapes or summer getaways — often leave homes more vulnerable to intrusive attempts. For families who prioritize safety, the first and most decisive line of defense is a high‑performance armored security door engineered to resist forced entry. A well‑constructed armored system not only deters opportunistic intruders but also disrupts any attempt to operate undetected on the door surface.
Minerva Luxury Designs develops reinforced security doors built according to advanced European anti‑burglary standards, ensuring exceptional structural rigidity, controlled deformation under attack, and superior resistance against both manual and mechanical intrusion tools.
Smart Remote Control: Access Your Home Effortlessly, Even While Away
There are many situations where remote access becomes essential — allowing a caretaker into your home, authorizing maintenance staff, welcoming guests to a holiday property, or managing a rental residence without being physically present.
For these scenarios, integrating an ISEO smart motorized locking system with a Minerva armored door creates the perfect combination of convenience and certified safety.
The lock responds only to encrypted digital commands, enabling secure operation from anywhere in the world.
Through a dedicated mobile application, homeowners can easily generate virtual keys for guests or authorized personnel. Each user receives a unique numeric code allowing secure entry through the armored door without the need for physical keys.
Advantages of the Virtual Key System
The digital access ecosystem offers several important benefits:
- No physical keys to lose, duplicate, or pass to unauthorized individuals.
- Full access monitoring: the owner can track who entered, at what time, and how often.
- Temporary or restricted codes can be issued, limiting access to specific dates, hours, or events.
- Remote deletion or modification of digital keys ensures ongoing control.
This system brings both complete oversight and uncompromising security, perfectly aligned with Minerva’s philosophy of luxury engineered protection.
Resistance Testing and Certification
To evaluate the intrusion resistance of armored security doors, laboratories perform simulations that replicate real‑world burglary attempts. These tests measure structural durability, lock resilience, tool resistance, and overall deformation behavior under aggressive conditions.
The European standard UNI EN 1627 classifies security doors from RC1 to RC6, with each level representing increasing resistance to both time and tool sophistication.
Below is a fully reconstructed version of the burglar‑proof classification table in a text‑optimized format for web publication:
Burglar‑Resistance Classes (Reconstructed Table)
| Security Class | Intruder Skill Level | Tools Typically Used | Min. Resistance | Max. Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RC1 | Opportunistic attacker | Physical force (pushing, kicking, lifting) | — | — |
| RC2 | Inexperienced | Small screwdrivers or levers | 3 min | 15 min |
| RC3 | Intermediate | Knives, pliers, wedges | 5 min | 20 min |
| RC4 | Professional | Hammers, saws, chisels, drills | 10 min | 30 min |
| RC5 | Expert | Power drills, angle grinders ≤ 125 mm | 15 min | 40 min |
| RC6 | Elite‑level intruder | Industrial grinders ≤ 230 mm | 20 min | 50 min |
Minerva Luxury Designs engineers its armored doors to comply with demanding upper‑tier RC classifications, ensuring robust resistance against advanced break‑in methods. Combined with intelligent access control, this makes our systems an exclusive benchmark for high‑security residential and vacation properties.
