All About Our Forced Entry Resistant Doors

We manufacture all forced entry resistant doors in our facility. Offered as single or double doors with inswing or outswing configurations, these aluminum security doors are rendered up to 4′ wide by 9′ tall with a 1 ¾” door thickness. Hardware options include center hung top pivots (not watertight) or offset gear hinges (watertight but require a T-Astragal), paired with a robust multi-point locking system. For energy performance, our forced entry resistant doors integrate a polyamide thermal strut to reduce heat transfer without compromising security.

PRL’s forced entry resistant doors are sold with offset or center hung stiles, so you can bid the profile that best meets your project’s needs. Choose from stile sizes: 2 ½” narrow, 3 ½” medium, or 5 1/8″ wide. Rail selections for our Battle doors include a 3 ¾” H x 1 ¾” W top rail and 10″ H or 10 ¾” H bottom door rails. Finish your forced entry resistant doors with clear or dark bronze anodized finishes, powder coats, or Kynar paints for long-lasting beauty and performance.

You can specify a wide assortment of glass types for your forced entry resistant doors. Fabricated in thermally broken and non-thermally broken options, we’ve got what your commercial forced entry doors require. Thermally broken panels include tempered IG units, tempered/laminated IG units and tempered impact resistant IG units. For non-thermally broken glass you can request single tempered sheets for your forced entry resistant doors, tempered IG units, tempered/laminated panels and tempered impact resistant IG units. Generated in a 1″ impact resistant thickness, and a host of tempered, laminated, colored and IG unit thicknesses, our glass make-ups deliver the protection, aesthetics and thermal efficiency today’s commercial entrances demand.
