Blast-Resistant Door Systems

Military facilities in the DC metropolitan area require doors engineered to survive explosive blast events:

• UFC 4-010-01 Compliant Assemblies: Doors tested and certified to withstand specific conventional blast threat levels defined by the Unified Facilities Criteria, including doors protecting occupied spaces, mission-critical areas, and primary gathering spaces.
• Energy-Absorbing Hardware: Continuous hinges, blast-resistant latch assemblies, and reinforced anchorage systems that maintain the door-to-frame connection during and after blast loading, preventing the door from becoming a secondary projectile.
• Progressive Failure Design: Assemblies engineered to deform and absorb energy without catastrophic breach, buying critical time for personnel protection even under loads exceeding the design threat.

Ballistic Protection

Perimeter entries and guard positions at military installations require protection against direct-fire threats:

• UL 752-Rated Doors: Ballistic-resistant doors tested from Level 1 through Level 8, providing protection ranging from handgun rounds through military rifle calibers depending on the facility’s assessed threat level.
• Operable Ballistic Glazing: Bullet-resistant vision panels using multi-ply glass-clad polycarbonate that maintains clarity while stopping threat-level projectiles, allowing guard force observation without exposure.
• Guard Booth and Entry Control Point Doors: Specialized ballistic assemblies for sentry stations, vehicle entry control points, and guard force positions at installation perimeters.

Vault and Secure Storage Doors

Classified material storage requires doors meeting specific federal and DoD physical security standards:

• Class 5/8 Vault Doors: Class 5 and Class 8 vault doors providing the physical barrier required for open and closed storage of classified material per DoD Manual 5200.01.
• Day Gates: Secondary barriers installed inside vault openings for visual access control during working hours while the primary vault door remains open.
• Combination and Electronic Locks: X-09 and X-10 high-security combination locks, and approved electronic locking systems with tamper detection and audit trail capability.
