The Shield Fortress Series was tested at NTS Chesapeake in Belcamp, MD and Intertek in York, PA to the US State Department (DoS) forced entry standard at the 15 minute level (FE 15) and at the iFT Rosenheim laboratory and was awarded a resistance class 4 (RC 4) rating. This certifies that the Shield Fortress series can withstand entry from highly skilled attackers using heavy-duty tools such as crowbars, sledge hammers, axes, wedges, saws, steel cutting pliers, and power drills. The Fortress was also tested for bullet resistance to UL752 levels 3 and 8, NIJ levels III and IIIA, and European standard EN1522 levels FB4 and FB6. The door is suitable for government offices, commercial buildings, private homes, and apartments.
The Fortress series is designed to help create a highly secure environment for areas with elevated threat profiles or security challenges, providing complete protection against burglary or forced entry. Its 3-1/2" thick door leaf and unique security features are the result of years of research, development, and testing against a wide variety of burglary methods. Additionally, the door was tested for internal and external penetration to ensure that it is as secure from the inside as from the outside.
The Fortress series comes with the following features:
1. Armored locks encased in drill resistant manganese plates to prevent manipulation. Optional motorized lock with biometric fingerprint scanner, card reader, or keypad.
2. High security Mul-T-Lock.
3. Adjustable ball-bearing security hinges.
4/5. A multi-point locking system that secures the door on all sides.
· Ten lock side bolts
· Bolts into the header and threshold
· Eight 5/8" fixed hinge side studs
6. Superior heat and sound insulation thanks to a 2" layer of rock wool.
7. A virtually unlimited range of architectural designs, millings, glazings and colors for the decorative door panels to create a door that is both highly secure and beautiful.
8. An L-shaped frame profile secured into the structural opening with 16 tamper-proof lag bolts protected by 1" steel threaded shims.
