Integrating our security management system into home automation is one of the most fascinating aspects of what we do at FBS. That might sound strange considering that we make custom security doors for affluent clients all around the world — that work in and of itself is interesting enough. We’re a little biased, but we believe our security doors and windows are gorgeous. They’re hand-crafted by skilled artisans in Italy and are customizable to your unique style preferences and aesthetics. Each piece they make is a work of art specifically created for you. While the windows may resemble each other in their outward appearance, no one else in the world will have a door like the one they make fo...

You may have seen on our website that our main headquarters is in Boca Raton, Florida. Of course, that means we talk about hurricanes most days of the week. Obviously, there isn’t a hurricane brewing quite that frequently, but hurricane preparedness requires constant, diligent effort. Every structure built in South Florida needs to be ready to stand up to a hurricane and everything that comes along with it — gale force winds, flying objects, and torrential rainfall. Hurricane certified windows and doors have become a major focus because they’re the most likely to fail. In many cases, they’re movable pieces that have multiple failure points (glazing, hinges, locks, etc). Here’s what goes into...

Given the physical location of our headquarters — South Florida — we discuss hurricane certification on a daily basis. It’s a major concern for our clients in both residential and commercial settings. In fact, you can’t even sell windows or doors in this region if they’re not hurricane-certified — and of course, we only sell doors and windows, so this is an important distinction for us. What we notice when talking to clients though is that many people don’t know the difference between hurricane windows versus security windows versus ballistic (or bulletproof) windows. Many have been told that their hurricane windows are also security windows, which is oftentimes not the case because there ar...

Every day at FBS, we’re working with clients, architects, and interior designers to help create luxury homes unlike any other. We may not be creating floor plans or choosing color palettes, but we believe that our part — assisting with the doors and windows — plays a major role in luxury home design. Whether you’re looking for unmatched craftsmanship or security doors and windows that will keep anyone and everything uninvited out of your luxury dream home, we can make that happen. To assist our clients in this quest, we have a team of architectural designers that can take any and all of your requests and requirements and turn them into a work of art. Here’s what you need to know about our ar...

Hello there! My name is David Vranicar and I’m the Managing Partner here at Fortified & Ballistic Security. I’m very proud to say I’ve been here since the very beginning — I’m one of the founders of the business. I meet with almost all of our clients at some point or another, whether it’s at the beginning when they’re trying to decide if they want to hire us, or later on to look at the final product. I take a lot of pride in getting to know the people we work with and for the sake of transparency, I thought I should get down a few things about myself. I think it’s important to know who you’re working with. Background: Home Automation Before I got into home security, I worked in home auto...
