Doors are installed with a bulletproof frame, giving you protection designed to withstand three shots from some of the most common handguns. Bulletproof acrylic doors are available in a variety of styles, making them ideal for all types of facilities, such as offices, schools, financial centers, and more.
Bulletproof acrylic doors are available in three standard sizes:
Double doors and custom sizing is available upon request.
Proper framing is essential to guarantee the doors’ ability to prevent damage from ballistic attacks. Your TSS consultant will help you determine the right frame choice for your security system.

Acrylic bulletproof glass offers a high level of visual clarity at a lower weight compared to other bulletproof door options. However, acrylic is not weather-resistant, so acrylic bulletproof doors are only recommended for interior applications. Bulletproof acrylic glazing is also easily damaged by conventional glass cleaner. Adding a protective coating is one way to avoid damage known as “crazing,” another is to use a non-abrasive cleaner. You can also choose all-glass doors, which are slightly more heavy and are also best suited for exterior environments.
The most commonly-used firearm in America is a handgun. For many facilities, a bulletproof door at UL Level 1, 2, or 3—all of which protect from handgun fire—is the right level of protection.
