Insulgard offers trusted bullet-resistant or “bulletproof” door systems for financial institutions, retail spaces, schools, government facilities, and more to provide highly effective protection and peace of mind.
The term “bullet proof” is actually inaccurate, as no door can withstand an indefinite barrage of bullets. We use the term bullet resistant in the industry, although we understand many still use terms such as “bullet proof door” colloquially.
Our bullet-resistant door systems are rigorously tested and listed to meet UL 752 standards for various levels of ballistic protection, ranging from Level 1 to Level 8 (high-powered rifles). These doors are engineered using top-quality materials such as wood core, hollow metal steel, and aluminum, and are available in full-vision or half-vision configurations. By integrating laboratory-tested performance with versatile design that complements the look and feel of your building, we provide bullet-resistant doors that deliver reliable security solutions meeting the highest industry standards.
The First Line of Defense Against Ballistic Attacks
As the primary access point to a building, a door typically serves as the first line of defense against ballistic attacks, safeguarding people and property. The visibility of a “bullet proof” door can also deter criminals from targeting protected buildings.
Architects, glazing contractors, and other construction professionals use bullet-resistant doors to secure buildings and environments such as:
- Banks: Bullet resistant doors protect staff and assets from robbery attempts at banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. They can also be employed to provide a secure barrier for bank vaults and teller areas.
- Schools: Secure doors at high schools, universities, and other educational institutions enhance safety during active shooter situations and other emergencies. The mere presence of bullet resistant doors can deter threats while providing students and staff with a sense of security.
- Stores: From jewelry stores and pawn shops to convenience stores, bullet resistant doors safeguard customers, staff, and valuables.
- Government buildings: Police stations, courthouses, correctional facilities and other government buildings often face determined threats, such as attacks targeting officials and sensitive operations.
Insulgard security products include doors and other architectural security features you need, such as windows, frames, armored panels, and counterline systems.
Whether you are building a new structure from the ground up or adding security features to an existing structure, our experts are here to help you select the bullet resistant doors and other products that are best suited to your building’s design and purpose.
Tested and Listed to Meet UL 752 Standards
All of our bullet resistant doors are designed to meet the testing requirements of the Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
The UL 752 rating is the gold standard of bullet resistance in the United States. Our bullet-resistant doors offer protection across multiple UL 752 levels:
- Level 1: Handguns such as 9mm full metal jacket with lead core.
- Level 2: Larger handguns, including .357 Magnum jacketed lead soft point.
- Level 3: Powerful handguns like .44 Magnum lead semi-wadcutter gas-checked.
- Level 4: Rifles, such as .30 caliber lead core soft point.
- Level 5: Military-grade rifles, including 7.62mm lead core full metal copper jacket.
- Level 6: High-velocity handgun ammunition, like 9mm at increased velocity.
- Level 7: Higher-caliber rifles, including 5.56mm full metal jacket with lead core.
- Level 8: High-powered rifles, such as 7.62mm full metal copper jacket military ball.
Our doors are tested to endure repeated firearm attacks while minimizing risks like spalling—the dangerous shattering and spreading of materials that can cause secondary injuries.
