Construction
Heavy steel doors (12-gauge or heavier) with internal ballistic core (UHMW-PE, ceramic, or laminated steel depending on threat level), reinforced frames anchored to structural steel (not just to wall), vault-grade continuous-piano hinges, ballistic-rated glazing (UL 752 Levels matching door rating), and manufacturer-supplied ballistic gaskets at the perimeter. Hardware is also rated — panic devices, closers, mortise locks all selected from the manufacturer's tested-assembly list.
Coordination with the security architect
Every blast/ballistic door interacts with the building's overall security strategy. Threat assessment, structural anchorage, electrical for access control, life-safety egress, audit and access logging, and emergency response planning all need to align. We work directly with the security architect from concept through installation, providing test data, manufacturer cut sheets, and stamped engineering for every assembly.
