Secure Sliding Doors

In an era where physical security is crucial, Metal Quartz delivers advanced secure sliding doors that combine maximum protection with high user convenience. These sliding doors are specially developed for sensitive, high-risk environments where both safety and efficient flow of people and goods are essential. Examples include bank buildings, government offices, prisons, military installations, hospitals, and critical infrastructures such as data centers and airports.

Metal Quartz distinguishes itself by providing custom-made sliding doors tailored to the specific requirements of each project. The doors are available in various configurations and security levels. From fully steel constructions to variants with ballistic glazing, always seamlessly integrated into the existing architecture and equipped with advanced automation options. This guarantees safe, durable, and comfortable access that meets the strictest standards and expectations.

Strict Ballistic Certifications for Maximum Reliability

Our secure sliding doors are certified according to European standards EN 1522 and EN 1523, which establish the requirements and testing methods for ballistic protection. These standards define several resistance classes based on caliber and ammunition type:

• FB4: Protection against 9 mm Para pistol rounds (handgun)
• FB5: Protection against 5.56×45 mm NATO ammunition (military rifle)
• FB6: Protection against 7.62×51 mm rounds (fully automatic rifle)
• FB7: Protection against armor-piercing 7.62×51 mm rounds (AP)

Additionally, Metal Quartz offers the open class AK47, which falls outside official standards but is common in real attack scenarios. This class offers penetration power between FB4 and FB5.

Stringent Test Procedures Ensure Complete Protection

Testing includes not only firing at door panels but also all critical weak points such as locks, hinges, glazing edges, connection profiles, and weld seams. This guarantees the entire sliding door unit functions as an integrated system providing uncompromised ballistic protection.

Comprehensive Testing of Complete Sliding Door Units

Unlike suppliers that test only individual panels or parts, Metal Quartz subjects full sliding door units to official ballistic tests. Both materials and the complete assembled product, including mechanical and technical components, are certified. Tested components include:

• Balustrades and frames
• Ballistic glazing and glass/steel transitions
• Secured overlapping zones and connection profiles
• Locking mechanisms and security locks
• Electronic and mechanical operation parts

This ensures delivery of products meeting the highest ballistic resistance standards with full traceability.

Secure Sliding Doors: Modular Customization with Extensive Configuration Options

Our sliding doors are fully modular and custom-built, tailored to your building, usage, and security needs. Available options include:

• Fully steel doors or doors with partial or full ballistic glazing, matching the required FB level
• Single or double sliding doors with multiple segments for wide passages
• Various sizes and sliding directions, including multi-segment doors for added flexibility
• Integration into armored Bunkerkit® wall systems or other existing structures
• Freestanding units suitable for temporary or mobile use
• Optional automatic drives with advanced sensors, programmable PLC controls, and access control

This modular approach allows precise tailoring of every sliding door solution to your project’s architecture and security requirements, no matter how complex.

Advanced Automation for Comfort and Safety

• Electromechanical drives with whisper-quiet motors for noiseless movement
• Advanced motion and presence sensors for optimal safety
• Programmed airlock or sas mode ensuring only one door opens at a time
• LED status indicators integrated with access control systems for full monitoring
• Emergency operation and manual override for operation during power failure or malfunctions

These innovations combine ease of use with maximum security.

Secure Sliding Doors: Aesthetic Finishes and Perfect Integration

Alongside functionality, the appearance of sliding doors is crucial. Metal Quartz offers a broad range of premium finishes and color options for professional, elegant integration into any interior or façade design:

• Durable powder coating in many RAL colors with refined texture
• High-quality ballistic glass with safe, splinter-free glazing beads
• Sleek, invisible weld seams for a refined finish
• Optional brushed stainless steel on the secure side for a luxurious look
• Optional LED lighting and other visual accents

These ensure the sliding doors complement your building’s architecture and branding without compromising safety.

Expandable with Additional Security Features

Our secure sliding doors can be enhanced with further security and comfort features to meet the most stringent demands:

• Burglar resistance WK3 to WK5 and MBE3 (EN 1627-1630)
• Fire resistance EI30 to EI60 (EN 1634-1)
• Electromagnetic shielding for critical electronic environments (Faraday cage, IEEE 299-2006)
• Acoustic insulation for confidential spaces

These options make our sliding doors part of a holistic security system protecting against diverse threats.
