Protect Your Space with Bulletproof Aluminum Doors

Bulletproof aluminum security doors are well-suited for businesses, schools, nonprofits, and government facilities looking to maintain high visibility and a sleek, modern look to their storefront or entryway. Most people will not be able to tell the difference between a normal storefront door and a bullet-resistant door, which means you can continue doing business as usual with the added peace of mind of having bulletproof protection in place.

Our aluminum bulletproof glass doors offer:

A high level of clear light transmission and visibility
Sleek design perfect for modern storefronts
Protection from both ballistic attacks and forced entry

The TSS team has decades of experience creating custom aluminum bulletproof doors for customers across the country.

Our Bulletproof Aluminum Doors

Our aluminum bulletproof doors are available with full vision, half vision, side, or view lites. We can even package your door as a storefront system with surrounding bulletproof windows and frames for a secure entryway solution.

Aluminum Door Types from Total Security Solutions

Bulletproof aluminum doors can be made with acrylic, polycarbonate, glass-clad polycarbonate, or insulated ballistic glazing with either narrow or wide stiles. Standard sizes include:

3' 0" x 7' 0"
3' 0" x 8' 0"
6' 0" x 7' 0"

Double doors, storefront systems, and custom sizes are available on request.

Doors are typically completed with a clear satin or dark bronze anodized finish. Custom powder coat paint or specialty Kynar paint colors are also available to seamlessly match your existing building design.

Our aluminum doors have been tested to UL standards for Levels 1-8, which can stop anything from common handgun fire to high-powered rifles. Doors rated at Levels 7 and 8 must be ordered with specific hardware and locksets since they are much heavier than standard doors. For Levels 1-6, TSS offers an easy-to-install hardware package or we can prep your door to accommodate hardware you have already specified.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a bulletproof aluminum door cost?

Bulletproof aluminum doors typically have a starting cost around $4,000, depending on the level of ballistic protection, door size, and whether large ballistic glass lites are included. Basic UL Level 1–3 aluminum doors with half-vision glazing start at that lower end, while full-vision dual storefront doors start around a price of $7,500 or more.

Where are aluminum bullet-resistant doors ideal?

Bulletproof aluminum doors are a smart choice for schools and businesses that need protection without compromising visibility or design. They’re especially well-suited for main entrances or front offices—anywhere you want to maintain an open, modern appearance while adding a layer of security.

Where do bulletproof security doors need to be reinforced?

Bulletproof doors must be reinforced at critical attack points to perform as intended. This includes areas like the latch, frame, and hinge side, which are common targets during forced-entry attempts.

Can bulletproof aluminum doors be installed in a house?

While it’s possible to install one in a private residence, aluminum security doors are heavier, built to commercial specs, and often require structural adjustments that make them impractical for most homes. If you’re seeking residential protection, we recommend working with a provider who focuses on home security applications.
