About the Shield Fortress Series High-Security Door
Our top-of-the-line forced entry-resistant door is custom designed for locations at very high risk of burglary or forced entry (bullet-resistant upgrade options available).
Fortress Series FE15
One of our core beliefs is that the secret to good security is to keep it a secret. That’s because security is much harder to defeat when you can’t see it and don’t know what you’re up against. Our custom made high-security doors and windows can be designed to look like just about anything, including unique wood stains, 3D millings, and custom shaped glass.

Mul-T-Lock Cylinders
Mul-T-Lock’s MT5+ cylinders are a natural fit in our doors.
