In an era where security is increasingly important, Metal Quartz offers advanced bullet-resistant doors designed to provide maximum protection against ballistic attacks. These doors are specially developed for sensitive and high-risk environments such as government buildings, financial institutions, military sites, prisons, and other critical infrastructures.
Metal Quartz combines robust construction with innovative techniques and strict certifications for these doors. The result is a durable, reliable, and aesthetically superior product, fully custom-made to meet your specific project requirements.
Certifications and Standards for Maximum Reliability
Our bullet-resistant doors comply with the strictest European standards for ballistic protection, including EN 1522 and EN 1523. These standards specify the requirements and testing methods for resisting various types of ammunition, ranging from handguns to armor-piercing rounds.
The doors are tested according to the highest ballistic resistance classes, including:
- FB4: Protection against 9 mm Para (handgun)
- FB5: Protection against 5.56×45 mm NATO (military rifle)
- FB6: Protection against 7.62×51 mm (fully automatic rifle)
- FB7: Protection against armor-piercing 7.62×51 mm rounds (AP)
Metal Quartz also accounts for the so-called open class AK47, which is not formally included in the standard but is common in real-world armed attacks. This class has penetration power between FB4 and FB5 and is offered as an option.
The testing procedures include not only firing at the door panels but also at critical weak points such as locks, hinges, glass edges, joints, and welds. This ensures that the door as a whole—including all components—provides effective ballistic protection without weak spots.
Bullet-Resistant Doors: Complete Test Coverage and Quality
Metal Quartz stands out by choosing full and representative test procedures. Unlike some suppliers who test only panels or small components, Metal Quartz subjects complete bullet-resistant doors to official ballistic tests. This means not only the materials used but the entire finished product as installed is certified.
Tested and certified components include:
- Glass elements and glass/steel transitions
- Locking mechanisms
- Any transfer system components
- Profiles, joints, and weld seams
- Mounting systems and contact points
This approach guarantees consistent, reliable protection at the required ballistic resistance level without compromise.
Customization and Modular Construction
Our bullet-resistant doors are produced fully modular and custom-made. Depending on location, function, and security level, various configurations are available:
- Fully metal doors or doors with partial glazing using high-quality ballistic glass according to the required FB level
- Variable sizes, door widths, and opening angles (up to 180°)
- Integration into Bunkerkit® structures or other armored wall constructions
- Freestanding units for temporary or permanent applications
- Options for electric operation, remote control, and interlocks
- Special configurations are possible for spaces with limited dimensions or specific access control requirements
Bullet-Resistant Doors: Technical Features and Operation
Metal Quartz’s bullet-resistant doors are equipped with high-quality locks and cylinders, such as the 3-point Abloy MP518/MP520 security lock and drill-resistant cylinder protection according to EN1303.
Electric operation is possible via side push buttons with LED indicators showing door status. A PLC controller manages the airlock mode so that only one door can open at a time for maximum safety.
Handles and pull bars are ergonomic and can be positioned as desired, with options for vertical pull handles spanning the entire door height and eccentric knob handles.
Aesthetics and Finish
Metal Quartz values visual integration and aesthetics highly. The finishes are modular and customizable to your corporate identity or architecture:
- Powder coating in various RAL colors with fine texture
- Sleek, invisible weld seams
- Optional brushed stainless steel on the secure side
- Cover plates without visible welds for a neat, professional appearance
The doors combine maximum security with a representative and welcoming appearance, suitable for sensitive and public spaces.
Bullet-Resistant Doors Combined with Other Security Features
The bullet-resistant doors can be combined with:
- Burglar resistance WK3 to WK5 and MBE3 (EN 1627-1630)
- Fire resistance EI30 to EI60 (EN 1634-1)
- Electromagnetic shielding (Faraday cages according to IEEE 299-2006)
- Acoustic insulation for confidential environments
The doors can be seamlessly integrated into a broad security system with access control, video verification, and communication options.
