72 mm thick double-walled steel leaf with reinforced internal frame
Anti-suicide design with no exposed edges or tamper points on cell side
Deflection under 6.5 mm at 2.5 t static load and <3 mm at 2 t edge load
Standard and tamper-proof door viewers with up to 200° viewing angle
Available add-ons: food hatch, inspection window, fanlight, quick-release bolts
Security chain designed for police/prison-grade use with dual-side operation
Fire-resilient operation: operable by key after 15 minutes fire exposure inside cell

About the S4Z Detention Cell Door Series
Secure, suicide-resistant doors for high-risk detention environments
Developed in response to real-world requirements from police departments and correctional institutions, the S4Z series delivers certified performance where it matters most. With tested resistance to forced entry and breakout attempts from both sides, these doors are a reliable barrier between safety and risk.
Its steel construction — reinforced internally and flush-mounted on the cell side — offers maximum resistance to vandalism, tampering, and suicide attempts. The door leaf can withstand significant edge, static, and torsional loads with minimal deflection, ensuring reliable structural integrity over time.
Optional integrations such as food hatches, tamper-proof inspection windows, and fanlights further customise the door for operational needs. With compatibility for quick-release bolts, prison-grade locking systems, and institutional safety protocols, S4Z is the professional standard in secure containment door solutions.
Technical Specifications
Engineered for resilience, control, and institutional safety
Forced Entry & Break-Out Resistance
Tested in accordance with DIN EN 1627–1630 up to RC4 from both sides — against forced entry on the corridor side and breakout attempts on the cell side. Also tested to the detention cell door guidelines of Saxony-Anhalt.
Structural Strength & Load Resistance
Withstands up to 2.5 t of static load with minimal deflection (<6.5 mm). Torsional load up to 2.0 t resulted in <4 mm deflection, ensuring lasting strength under extreme stress.
Suicide Prevention Design
No exposed edges or internal screws on the cell side. Fully flush-mounted cladding prevents self-harm or tampering attempts, while high-tensile internal framing ensures anti-vandal resilience.
Optional Features & Add-Ons
Available with tamper-proof door viewers (up to 200°), food hatches, security chains, inspection windows with armoured glass, and fanlights for lighting or monitoring tech.
Locking & Emergency Access
Can be locked or released using a key after 15 minutes of fire exposure inside the cell. Available with quick-release systems: sliding bolt or lever-handle-based for fast, safe access.
Surface & Construction
Double-walled steel door leaf up to 72 mm thick with galvanised steel cladding. Concealed hinges and reinforced locking areas provide secure, tamper-resistant operation.
Installation & Compatibility
Compatible with SYSTEM SÄLZER® products. Can be installed in various wall types with optional bullet-resistant wall connections. Available with fanlights and frame-integrated features.
Life Cycle & Usage
Designed for long-term institutional use. Built with robust hardware and hinge systems to endure repeated high-impact use in demanding custodial environments.
