Building hardware - Door and window bolts - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard specifies performance, security and safety requirements (including test methods) for single point bolts and their associated keeps, used to secure, or increase the security of, doors or windows in buildings; where operation is by lever, knob, slide, pull, etc, or removable implement (but not a multiple differ key) from the protected side of the leaf only. Spring engaging bolts, and bolts with locking facility are included if they are, by definition, bolts (see 3.1.1).
Baubeschläge - Tür- und Fensterriegel - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm legt das Betriebsverhalten, die Anforderungen an Sicherung und Sicherheit (einschließlich der Prüfverfahren) für Riegel und die damit verbundenen Aufnahmen fest, die zur Sicherung oder zur Verbesserung der Sicherung von Türen oder Fenstern in Gebäuden verwendet werden und durch einen Hebel, Griff, Schieber, Zug-Griff oder ein abnehmbares Betätigungsmittel (nicht jedoch durch Schlüssel mit unterschiedlichen Bartformen, Einschnitten bzw. Profilen) ausschließlich auf der geschützten Seiten des Tür- oder Fensterflügels betätigt werden.

Overview
EN 12051:1999 is a European Standard published by CEN that defines requirements and test methods for door and window bolts used in building hardware. The standard covers single‑point bolts and their associated keeps intended to secure or enhance the security of doors and windows. It focuses on performance, security and safety aspects, and specifies applicable test methods. The scope applies where operation is by lever, knob, slide, pull, or removable implement (from the protected side of the leaf only). Spring‑engaging bolts and bolts with locking facilities are included when they meet the standard’s definition of a bolt.
Key Topics
- Performance requirements: Criteria for how single‑point bolts must behave in normal use to ensure durability and reliable operation.
- Security requirements: Measures and tests that assess the bolt’s ability to resist unauthorized opening or forced entry.
- Safety requirements: Conditions to prevent hazards during normal operation, including secure engagement and release actions.
- Test methods: Standardized procedures to verify compliance with performance, security and safety criteria (as defined in the standard).
- Product scope and definitions: Clarifies which types of bolts are covered (single‑point, spring‑engaging, bolts with locking facility) and which are excluded (e.g., multiple‑differ key mechanisms are not covered when operated from the protected side).
- Operational modes: Coverage of manual actuation methods such as levers, knobs, slides, pulls and removable implements.
Applications
EN 12051:1999 is practical and relevant for:
- Manufacturers and product designers of building hardware seeking to design bolts that meet European performance and safety expectations.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies conducting standardized tests to demonstrate compliance.
- Specifiers, architects and engineers writing procurement or installation specifications for doors and windows in residential, commercial or public buildings.
- Installers and locksmiths selecting appropriate bolts and keeps for renovation, security upgrades or compliance with building codes.
- Procurement and quality assurance teams evaluating products against recognized European standards.
Use cases include product development, conformity testing, selection of hardware for building projects, and preparing technical documentation for regulatory compliance.
