Typical Republic Bullet Resistant Construction Details
DE Series doors and ME series frames allow the architect/specifier the highest level of performance and construction flexibility. Listed below are some of the various types of anchorage styles available along with various standard hardware preparations. With these types of high security openings, security is only as good as the weakest link, for this reason Republic recommends that the adjacent walls provide the same level of bullet resistance as Republic’s bullet resistant system
