FBS Articles

FBS is mostly known for our custom security doors, which is understandable — the doors are more “interesting” in that it seems like they’re more fun to design. There are covering options and ways to put glass inserts into the door, and the possibility of secret compartments. Of course people get excited about designing a custom security door. What our clients don’t typically realize is that our custom security windows are just as exciting to design. It’s just that when the design is executed perfectly (as ours always is), it’s actually invisible. We love designing custom windows for our clients, whether it’s a glass insert in a door, a luxury sliding door, or an entire window wall. Here’s wh...

The majority of our clients contact us because they’re looking for a security door — but not just any security door. They also want a beautiful luxury front door, bedroom door, or sliding glass door. Fortunately for them, we can make all of these dreams come true. Sometimes people call looking for a custom front door and end up also getting a sliding door and a fire door so they can secure every entrance and exit point. Once they realize that we can create beautiful doors, they see that the upgrade from “beautiful door” to “security door” just makes sense. And when they’re one and the same? It’s the perfect solution. Here’s why you should upgrade your custom luxury front door to a security d...

At Fortified and Ballistic Security, we make custom security doors and windows. It’s something we’re very passionate about, and have dedicated a significant amount of time perfecting. We help people build the doors that complete their dream luxury home, and we enjoy it more than we can say. While the process itself is similar each time, the end result is always unique to the homeowner. One of the coolest parts about the design process is picking out hardware. Luxury door handles and knobs become the jewelry of the door. They can become statement pieces that draw attention, or complementary pieces that don’t detract from a deliberately elaborate design on the rest of the door. Regardless of w...

Our clientele is not your typical shopper. We’re not working with people trying to buy doors in bulk for their new upper-middle-class home. We’re working with people who are looking to create custom doors for their luxury home. They can afford to spend time and money creating something unique. Something one of a kind. And for that, we (almost) always recommend pivot doors. We’ll explain more about why we love them so much, but the fact of the matter is that pivot doors elevate your design. They add an element of sophistication and (candidly) surprise to whatever opening you’re working with. No one expects a door to open from any other point than the very edge — it’s what we’re used to. So wh...

Luxury homes are all unique. In fact, we’re willing to bet that no two are the same. Even if the floorplans are similar, once the homeowners move in and put their personal touches on the home, it will be its own animal. We may be biased (but only a little bit) when we say that the doors and windows you choose for your luxury home can dramatically change the way it looks and feels. That may sound overly dramatic, but hear us out. Custom Front Doors If you own a luxury home, there’s really nothing stopping you from ordering a custom front door. Candidly, anything short of a thoughtfully planned front entryway would do a disservice to the architect and the interior designer. The front entrance ...
