Product Description
A Level 4 ballistic door is a highly secure door designed to provide protection against high-velocity rifle rounds. These doors are constructed to meet specific ballistic standards, such as those outlined in the UL 752 standard, and are designed to resist the impact of powerful firearms, including rounds fired from rifles.
Here are some key characteristics and features of Level 4 ballistic doors:
-
Protection Against Rifle Rounds: Level 4 ballistic doors are engineered to withstand the impact of high-velocity rifle ammunition, such as .30-06 Springfield and 7.62mm NATO rounds. They offer protection against long-range rifles and high-powered rifles.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: These doors are typically constructed with heavy-duty materials, such as steel, and often incorporate multiple layers of steel, along with other ballistic-resistant materials. The specific thickness and composition can vary depending on the manufacturer and the design of the door.
-
Bullet-Resistant Glass: Many Level 4 ballistic doors include bullet-resistant glass windows or vision panels. The bullet-resistant glass used is designed to offer protection against rifle rounds, and it consists of multiple layers of glass and polycarbonate.
-
Frame and Hardware: The frame of a Level 4 ballistic door needs to be robust and securely anchored to the surrounding structure. Heavy-duty hinges, locks, and other hardware are essential to support the weight of the door and ensure it remains secure.
-
Customization: Ballistic doors can be customized to fit various architectural and security requirements, including different sizes, shapes, and attachment methods. They can be tailored to specific security needs.
-
Applications: Level 4 ballistic doors are commonly used in high-security environments, such as government buildings, military facilities, critical infrastructure, and areas where the threat of high-velocity firearms is a concern.
-
Transparency: If the door includes bullet-resistant glass, it is designed to provide optical clarity and transparency, allowing people inside to see outside and vice versa.
