Shop Bullet Resistant Doors, Windows and Security Hardware

Wall panels and bullet resistant windows protect the counter, and bullet resistant doors close off the staff side. Deal trays, speak-thrus, transaction drawers and package receivers are the security hardware that lets your team serve customers through the barrier. Check that every door, window and panel carries the same protection level, since a round finds the weakest one.

Which Bullet Resistant Security Systems Does Your Business Need?

Here’s the security hardware that typically goes on the order for each type of business. Your security consultant or insurer usually sets the protection level.

Banks and credit unions: Higher-risk branches put bullet resistant windows over an armored counter front, with bullet resistant doors into the teller area. Staffed drive-up windows use a transaction drawer.
Pharmacies: A transaction drawer at the drive-thru window. Stores in higher-risk areas add a framed window at the pickup counter.
Gas stations and convenience stores: A bullet resistant exchange window for overnight shifts, plus a pass-thru hopper for anything too big for the tray.
Check cashing stores and dispensaries: Bullet resistant transaction windows, armor panels around the counter, and bullet resistant doors at the secure entry.
Courthouses and government offices: Framed reception windows, with bullet resistant barriers and bullet resistant doors around staff areas.
Box offices, parking booths and transit counters: Ticket and cashier windows facing the line, with a deal tray for cash and tickets.
Guard booths and checkpoints: Security window systems on every exposed side, wall panels below them, and bullet resistant doors at each entry.

How Do You Choose Bullet Resistant Windows?

Start with the rating. UL 752 Levels 1 to 3 stop handgun rounds, from a 9mm up to a .44 Magnum. Levels 4 to 8 cover rifles and faster 9mm fire.
Pick the glazing. Most security window systems offer acrylic, polycarbonate or glass-clad polycarbonate. Acrylic is the clearest for indoor counters, and polycarbonate layers keep shards from flying toward staff if the glass takes more hits than its rating.
Measure wall depth for trays and drawers. Pass-through security hardware is sized to the counter or wall it goes through, and the wrong depth means rebuilding the counter.
Check lead time before booking the installer. Stock-size bullet resistant windows often ship sooner than bullet resistant doors and custom sizes, which are built to order, so check the ship time on each product page.

Security Hardware FAQs

Is a Bullet Proof Service Window the Same as a Bullet Resistant One?

Yes. “Bullet proof service window” is the everyday name for it. Manufacturers rate these windows as bullet resistant, since each is tested to stop a set level of rounds, so that’s the term you’ll see on most product pages.

Can I Get a Bullet Resistant Window With Deal Tray and Speak Thru as One Unit?

Yes. TSS makes a complete bullet resistant window with deal tray and speak thru, so the tray and talk-through come fitted to the glass. You can pick a stainless speak-thru, acrylic speak-thru or speak-around.

Where Do I Find Bullet Resistant Transaction Windows?

They’re grouped with the Ticket and Cashier Windows on DK Hardware. Some of those units use plain tempered glass with no bullet rating, so check the protection level on each product page before you order.

What Is a Bullet Resistant Exchange Window?

It’s usually a compact pass-through unit built into a storefront wall or glass, so a clerk can take payment and hand items out while the doors stay locked. Order it at the same protection level as the glass and other security hardware around it.

How Do I Fit a Speak-Thru for Bullet Resistant Glass?

Order the speak-thru for bullet resistant glass by the glazing it goes into. Acrylic and polycarbonate can be drilled on site, and many speak-thrus fit those materials only. Laminated glass can’t be drilled cleanly, so have the hole cut when the window is made.

When Do I Need Bullet Resistant Transaction Drawers Instead of a Deal Tray?

When the item is too thick for the tray. Deal trays are shallow, made for cash, cards and receipts. Bullet resistant transaction drawers pull out to the customer side, take deposit bags or paperwork, then slide back behind the armor.

Where Does a Bullet Resistant Protective Barrier Go Besides the Glass?

Bullet resistant barriers continue below and beside the glass, as armor panels inside the counter front and surrounding walls. Back every seam with a strip of the same panel. Deal trays and shelves set into the counter need their own rating, or armor underneath.
