Forte Opening Solutions™ Attack Resistant Door System
Everyday Protection in a Practical, Affordable, One-Time Investment
The Increasing Threat
Increasing mental health issues and escalating violence can create a threatening school environment. At Forte™, we believe every student and staff member should feel safe at school. Partnering with security experts, we developed the Forte™ Opening Solutions Attack Resistant Door System, a practical solution that adds layers of protection to slow down unwanted entry— creating safer spaces inside schools and classrooms.
Deter. Delay. Defend.
While adding protection to deter, delay and defend, we also believe a school should not feel like a fortress. The Forte™ Opening Solutions Attack Resistant Door System is a one-time, affordable solution that is a balance of defense, protection and style. We use a mix of tactical glass of attack-resistant security glass to let in natural light and sustainable materials to offer a comforting and attractive appearance.
As an added benefit, Forte™ Opening Solutions Attack Resistant Doors create quieter spaces with their sound-absorbing, solid core construction, while also meeting code and safety requirements with a selection of fire-rated doors.
A System That Deters and Delays Attackers
All components of the Forte™ Opening Solutions Attack Resistant Door System — metal frame, attack-resistant glass, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 hardware, solid-core wood door and metal vision kit— work together to provide the highest level of security in new construction or security-update retrofit projects. While Forte™ Opening Solutions Attack Resistant Doors can be installed in existing frames, the full system is required for the greatest degree of safety.
