Three Doors to Choose From

Residential

This door is the best residential security/safety door on the market for your residence.  We started with UL-rated ballistic panels. This door has been engineered to do what no other door has been able to do.

Commercial/Office

We added extra layers of Kevlar to go above the UL-rated ballistic panels.  We stop the bullet in the first ¾ of the door stopping any energy from affecting the surface of the interior surface of the door skin.

Military/School

All our engineering capabilities went into this door.  Above and beyond anything on the market.  Layers upon layers of different materials allow us to test for forced entry, ballistic, sound, and fire rating.

Three Locks to Choose From

Mortise/ADA Lock

How it Works – This lock is for commercial uses where ADA compliance is required.  The Mortise/ADA Lock is engaged by the user turning the deadbolt knob 30 degree or key to lock.  To retract the lock the user has three options: thumb turn, key, or interior lever.

Used For – Classrooms, commercial spaces, institutions (ADA compliant lock)

Vault Lock

How it Works – The Vault Lock is our most popular lock for personal use.   Using the cylinder/key and thumb turn, the deadbolt can be thrown or retracted.  Key outside, thumb turn inside.  A separate knob or lever set makes for easy everyday use when there is no need to engage the safety rods.

Citadel Lock

How it Works – The Citadel Lock is the strongest and easiest to use lock that we manufacture. This is a personal safety-only lock.  Someone on the inside of the door is the only person that can lock and unlock the system, which means that there is no lock exposed on the exterior of the door to pick.

Used For – where persons need to be protected, or a multiple door room

  • Double length round bolts
  • ONLY locks from the “safe” side
  • 2.5” travel into surrounding door studs
  • Slide actuation with separate daily use knob or lever
