PDP Doors Bullet resistant doors and frames have been independently tested up to Class G2 Hand Gun 44 Magnum and S86 12 bore shotgun with single solid lead slug. They have also been successfully tested in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 1522: 1998 / BS EN 1523: 1999.
Test level achieved is FB5(s) & FB6(s) – equivalent BS 5051 R1 & R2.
The independent testing was carried out by Wiltshire Ballistic Services.
The extent of the testing included potential weak spots such as lockcases, cylinder/keyholes, hinges and glazing apertures.
Inward and outward opening door applications were also accounted for within the independent test.
