Bullet Guard Systems

Design, Manufacture, Fabrication & Installation of Ballistic Products

What we do

Bullet Guard is a design-build systems supplier and/or installer of bullet resisting (proof) products. Projects are taken from concept, through design, into fabrication and manufacture. They are either supplied or installed, as the customer chooses.

We are here to help you, the architect and builder, make a bullet and bomb resisting protective armoring system you can be proud to present to your customer. Interior lobby security and access control is our specialty. Our Step by Step process and capabilities are outlined below. Call us at (800) 233-5632.

Step 1

Consultation on Levels of Threat and Design Implications

The first thing that an architect or builder has to determine from the user is what is the anticipated threat level. What caliber of weapon do you want to stop? Bullet resistant building products adhere to Underwriters Laboratories Standard 752 for testing and general concept of good bullet resistant protection.

UL Ballistic Levels are Level 1 through 8. Most commonly used are:

• Level 1, Medium Power Small Arm (MPSA) 38 cal., 9mm
• Level 2, High Power Small Arms (HPSA) 357 magnum
• Level 3, Super Power Small Arms (SPSA) 44 magnum
• Level 5, High Power Rifle (HPR), 7.62

The staff at Bullet Guard will assist you through the determination of the appropriate Ballistic Level for your project. Our live fire testing facility is available to assist you in the decision making process.

Underwriters' Laboratories is an independent laboratory whose standard UL 752 is used as the industry standard for architectural bullet resistant applications in determining different levels of protection by caliber and velocity of weapon.

Step 2

Design & Owner Acceptance

Use our experience to design applications that perform

We can supply your location with a very simple transaction window or a complete site-specific-designed enclosure suitable for a bank, an embassy, an office lobby or other commercial application. If necessary, we can make the windows rise or slide as for convenience stores for fast food establishments. We make drive-thru windows and walk-up windows for take out. We are a full service, "designs to meet the threat", company. There is no job too small or too large in threat level for Bullet Guard. Bullet Guard will help you design your project and write your CSI specifications at no charge.

Bullet Guard Corporation has been in the security business since 1976 and an Architectural Armorer providing bullet resistant protection since 1985. Our product line is scrupulously monitored for its bullet stopping ability by use of our in-house live fire testing facility. All of our transparent and opaque materials are listed by Underwriter's Laboratories Standard 752. We place these materials into Bullet Guard's Ballistic Capture frames to insure complete bullet resistance and to prevent excessive force "pop-out".

Step 3

Materials, Components, Details

Most bullet resisting protection includes at least one window, a shelf with a tray for passing money or paper, wall armor and possibly a pass through (pass-thru) for larger articles or merchandise and at least one entry door. We supply all the bullet resisting sections including the amenities that make them attractive in a retail or office environment.

Custom & Modular Components

Step 4
