Structural Upgrades for High Security Doors
Reinforced, Cutting-Edge Protection
We may be biased, but we believe our high security doors are beautiful. Yet, their outward appearance is only part of the story. The exquisite finishes available on FBS custom doors conceal the indomitable reinforced steel and cutting-edge technology within. Integrated smart home automation, biometric locks, cameras with bulletproof lenses, and even hidden compartments embedded seamlessly into the door offer the utmost peace of mind for you and your family – and none of it will detract from the carefully crafted allure of your home.
Motorization
We can motorize any door we make, whether it’s a hinge door, a pivot door, sliding doors, or French doors. Motorization is a perfect way to add elegance, grace, and convenience to your luxury home.
Our motors are so small, they fit within the door frame itself. There won’t be any bulky box on the inside of the door to house the motor, and we don’t even need extra space in the ceiling. The footprint of the door remains the same, whether the door is motorized or not. (But trust us — you want it to be motorized.)
Extra Large Structure
While hinge doors have a limitation of 90 inches in height (about 7.5 feet), pivot doors have almost no limit. Or at least, we haven’t found one yet.
We can accommodate essentially any size you’d like. We’ve made many extra-large front entryway high security doors that are completely mind blowing, and we’d love to make one for you, too.
Stealth Hinge™
Our Stealth Hinge is made with a specially formulated lightweight ballistic-grade steel that will withstand gunfire from even an AK-47. If that doesn’t make you feel secure, we’re not sure what will.
PerfectFrame™
Our 3 and 4 sided perfect frames are measured and installed well ahead of door delivery. Installers are able to simply show up with your new door and know that the door will be perfectly plumb and level, saving lots of time and avoiding potential issues on day of delivery.
Ballistic-Rated Security Upgrades
Bullet & burglar-proof your entryway
-
Ballistic Level 1Ballistic 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 2Ballistic 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 3Ballistic 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.
Fire Resistant
Our Fire Resistance upgrade enhances your door’s ability to withstand high heat and block smoke, giving you valuable time in the event of a fire. It’s built with a carefully engineered blend of fire-resistant materials, including intumescent gaskets, calcium silicate, ceramic fiber, and a specialized draught closer—all selected for their ability to perform under extreme conditions.
This upgrade is ideal for homes in fire-prone areas such as California or the western United States. It also adds a level of safety that many high-rise condominiums and apartments expect—especially in multi-unit buildings where containing a fire quickly can make all the difference.
If you're installing a door in a condo, apartment, or any area with increased fire risk, this upgrade delivers meaningful, real-world protection without compromising the strength or beauty of your FBS door.
