Security doors and ballistic windows are engineered access points designed to resist forced entry and – where specified – ballistic attack, while remaining appropriate for premium residential and corporate environments.
For architects, security consultants, and high net worth individuals, the objective is straightforward: strengthen the building’s most vulnerable apertures without compromising aesthetics, usability, or operational flow.
At The Panic Room Company, every solution is bespoke—specified to the risk profile, building fabric, and design intent – then engineered, manufactured, and installed with discretion.
What Security Doors and Ballistic Windows Are
Security doors and ballistic windows combine robust core construction, certified materials, and tested assemblies to deliver defined performance against attack.
This can include burglary-resistant, bullet-resistant, and fire-resistant door and window solutions, integrated as exterior perimeter protection or as internal compartmentation to create secure zones.
Because no two buildings – or briefs – are identical, specification is scalable: from enhanced forced-entry resistance through to higher ballistic levels, aligned to recognised standards and real-world constraints (frame depth, reveals, heritage façades, and access control).
Who This Is For?
Private residences
- requiring discreet reinforcement of entrances, glazing, and selected internal “safe-haven” rooms.
Corporate premises
- seeking resilient reception perimeters, executive areas, and controlled circulation without creating an overtly “hardened” look.
High-risk profiles and high-value environments
- where design teams must balance security, privacy, and continuity of operations.
Key Features & Capabilities
Tailor-made engineering for doors, windows, and related access-control products, built to suit the architecture and intended use.
Independent testing and certification via international laboratories and accredited certification bodies, supporting confident specification.
Recognised ballistic and forced-entry benchmarks, including references to UL 752, NIJ 0801.01, EN 1522/1523, and US DoS Diplomatic Security forced-entry standards (FE levels) where required.
Glazing options matched to security levels, including security glass classifications (e.g., P6B/P8B) and ballistic glazing (e.g., BR4/BR6) as part of a complete assembly.
Integration into existing or new-build projects, with finishes and detailing selected to remain visually consistent and discreet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your security doors and ballistic windows off-the-shelf?
No – solutions are specified and built to the project, ensuring the assembly, finishes, and performance align with your requirements.
Can ballistic windows look like standard glazing?
Yes. Systems can be detailed with a customisable appearance while using certified materials appropriate to the required level.
What standards can you work to?
Specifications may reference commonly used ballistic and forced-entry standards (including UL/NIJ/EN and US DoS FE levels), selected to suit the brief.
Can doors be installed internally as well as externally?
Yes – security doors can be used on the perimeter or internally to create protected zones and safe-haven spaces.
