Ballistic-Rated Security Upgrades

Bullet & burglar-proof your entryway

    Ballistic Level 1

    Ballistic Level 1 is our foundational upgrade for handgun resistance, engineered to stop common small-caliber rounds like the 9mm.

    There are only two realistic points of entry on a door when it comes to gunfire: the door surface and the lock area. At FBS, we reinforce both. The outer surface of the door is clad in ballistic-grade steel—designed to absorb and stop handgun fire. And the lock mechanism is protected by our proprietary FBS Defender™, a ballistic-grade shield built to resist direct hits from small-caliber and higher-powered handgun rounds.

    Our doors are not officially certified to any ballistic rating. But the materials we use are the same used in certified ballistic applications, and we’ve tested their performance ourselves. You won’t find paperwork or a stamp—but you will get real protection, exactly where it matters.

    Ballistic Level 2

    Ballistic Level 2 is our most requested ballistic upgrade—and for good reason. It's built to stop powerful handgun threats, including the .44 Magnum, one of the most forceful handgun rounds commercially available.

    This level uses the same intelligent structural approach as Level 1, but with thicker ballistic-grade steel on the door face and an upgraded FBS Defender™ lock shield to handle increased impact energy. These are the two critical areas that determine a door’s ability to stop gunfire—and both are reinforced using materials proven to stop high-powered handguns.

    We don’t carry official ballistic certifications, but the construction methods and materials in our Level 2 upgrade are equivalent to what’s used in certified systems. This is the level we recommend to clients who have received threats, are in the public eye, or simply want greater peace of mind without moving into full rifle-rated defense.

    If you're looking for serious protection against the vast majority of real-world handgun threats, this is it.

    Ballistic Level 3

    Ballistic Level 3 is our highest standard of ballistic defense—engineered to stop high-powered rifle rounds, including threats from weapons like the AK-47.

    This upgrade includes significantly reinforced ballistic steel on the door face and an enhanced version of our FBS Defender™ lock shield, both designed to withstand extreme ballistic impact. These are the two areas where gunfire is most likely to be focused—and both are constructed using materials proven to defeat high-caliber rifle fire.

    While this level may exceed what most clients need, for those facing elevated threats, it offers a level of protection—and peace of mind—that few doors in the world can match.

    Our doors are not officially certified, but the materials and build quality behind this upgrade are equivalent to what’s used in certified rifle-rated systems. It’s serious protection, for serious circumstances.
