NEW HAVEN, Connecticut, March 31, 2017 — ASSA ABLOY and School Guard Glass have partnered to offer Attack Resistant Door Openings. This new product is a complete doorway system that delays or thwarts an attacker’s entry into a room long enough for occupants to seek safety and first responders to arrive. ISC West attendees will have several opportunities to see the Attack Resistant Door in action on the exhibit hall floor during the massive security industry tradeshow.
Live demonstrations of the ASSA ABLOY Attack Resistant Door featuring School Guard Glass will be held at the southwest corner of the exhibit hall, adjacent to booth #34107, at noon pacific time Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, April 5-7. Attendees are invited to watch a simulated assault and see how the door and glazing react to a concentrated physical attack.
In addition to the live demonstrations, the Attack Resistant Door will be on display at the ASSA ABLOY Booth #8061 throughout the event. Attendees can visit the booth to see an actually tested door accompanied by a video of the certification test. ASSA ABLOY and School Guard Glass representatives will be present at the booth to provide literature and answer any questions about the product.
“We’re very excited to introduce Attack Resistant Openings at ISC West,” said Jeff Huggins, director of government programs, Door Security Solutions. “The threat resistant portion of our door display compliments our other high performing products that will be at the show, including bullet and blast resistant, radio frequency shielded, and acoustic doors.”
ASSA ABLOY’s Attack Resistant Door Opening meets test standards for forced entry and ballistic resistant levels of protection for various threats set forth based on the FBI’s Active Shooter Report (tested to 5-aa10 test standards). While the door or glass may not stop a bullet from penetrating the opening, the attack resistant door assembly can withstand an intense 4-minute physical attack after being shot 60 times with 7.62 NATO rounds.
Attack Resistant Openings bridge the gap between standard doors and high-level bullet resistant openings. This cost-effective solution permits increased protection throughout buildings, either through retrofit of existing infrastructure or in new construction. Doors, frames, and hardware are available in various colors and finishes to accommodate many interior and exterior applications.
