Schröders System bullet-resistance doors

Bullet-resistance doors System Schröders FBN-1 and System Schröders FBN-2, in classes FB4 to FB6 according top EN 1522/1523, from the Schröders ModulSystem offer a high level of protection against attacks with firearms such as handguns or rifles.

The requirements and associated test methods are defined by the European standards EN 1522 and EN 1523 for the resistance of doors to ballistic attacks. In accordance with these standards, the Ulm Ballistics Testing Centre carried out the tests on System Schröders bullet-resistant doors.

Testing by the Ulm Ballistics Testing Centre

The European standard EN 1522 describes the classification of bullet-resistant doors. It specifies which calibres must be withstood in the respective classes.

The European standard EN 1523 describes the specific test methods used to test the doors under various firing conditions.

The standards categorise resistance to gunfire into classes. These are based on defined criteria such as the type of firearm, calibre and ammunition.

• Resistance Class FB4

  Doors of this resistance class provide protection against fire from handguns using powerful pistol ammunition with considerable penetrating power.

  Class FB4 doors are particularly suitable for protection in areas where there is a risk of attacks involving handguns, such as administrative buildings, banks, or embassies.

• Resistance Class FB5

  In addition, doors of this resistance class protect against rifle fire using ammunition commonly used in assault rifles.

  Class FB5 doors are designed for areas where there is an increased risk that attackers may be equipped with military-grade or heavier weapons.

• Resistance Class FB6

  Doors of this class offer additional protection against fire from even more powerful ammunition typically used in military rifles.

  These doors are used in particularly high-risk areas such as military facilities, high-security zones, and at-risk political institutions.

The bullet resistance threshold of System Schröders doors provides protection against a significant security risk. Without such a threshold, projectiles can penetrate through the gap at the bottom of the door. This unprotected area represents a potential weak point for attackers, undermining the protection of the entire door system.

For optimum protection, System Schröders doors can be equipped with a bullet resistance threshold.

System Schröders doors of classes FB4 to FB6 therefore offer tested and proven protection against a variety of threats. This makes them ideally suited for security-critical areas. In banks, government buildings, embassies, data centers, and military facilities, they provide reliable System Schröders protection.

Part of the Schröders ModulSystem

As a component of the Schröders ModulSystem, the bullet resistance doors can of course also be combined with other performance properties. Options include, for example, Burglar resistance, Acoustic performance, and Increased airtightness.

In addition, fire-rated doors (EI₂30-S₂₀₀) or smoke control doors (S₂₀₀) from the Schröders ModulSystem can be equipped with bullet resistance up to class FB6.

Additional features, such as bullet resistance glazing, are also available.

Conclusion

With the new bullet resistance doors of classes FB4 to FB6, System Schröders offers another valuable building block for modern security concepts. Thanks to their certified resistance, these security doors can save lives.
