additional contractors and partners because we can partner

Page 25: Understanding Bulletproof Glass and Bullet Resistant Barriers

Planning Your Bullet Resistant Barrier

Total Security Solutions | www.tssbulletproof.com

With the cost of a custom barrier system, you can imagine how critical the

planning phase is to your project. Not having the correct information to create

accurate job spec drawings causes a ripple effect that could result in delays

during the production and installation portion of your job.

Our Project Managers and Engineers Handle:• Field Measurements

• Barrier Design That Is Compliant With Building Codes,

ADA Requirements, and Seismic Requirements

Page 26: Understanding Bulletproof Glass and Bullet Resistant Barriers

Producing Your Bullet Resistant Barrier

Total Security Solutions | www.tssbulletproof.com

Our multi-step manufacturing process integrates a computer-driven manufacturing operation

that converts precise architectural measurements into a complete system of complementary

components. Engineers slice every component of your barrier down to its base level, allowing

each shop department to work simultaneously.

Our Manufacturing Facility features top of the line equipment that is meticulously cared for and

regularly upgraded. The tools we use on your barriers are just as valuable as our high quality

staff.

Keeping everything in-house allows us to control the entire production and manufacturing

process, resulting in high quality control, quick turn-around times, and optimal precision work.

We are proud to offer the highest quality and fastest lead-times in the industry.

Installing Your Bullet Resistant Barrier

Total Security Solutions | www.tssbulletproof.com

Once the components for your bullet resistant barrier have been manufactured and

shipped, our expert install team comes on site to install your barrier.

Information About The Installation Process:• Most installs can be completed in one evening

• We prefer to install the barrier when the bank is closed so as not to disrupt the flow

of business

• Our team will need someone to give them access to the building for the installation

• Install team will prep the install area prior to installation

• NOTE: Barrier components are large and heavy, which means you need to make

sure the space can accommodate the elements.

• After install is complete, we will give you cleaning and maintenance instructions
