UL 752 Level 3 Ballistic Protection

Our standard bullet resistant door glass and frame assembly provides UL 752 Level 3 ballistic protection.

Ballistic Performance

  • UL 752 Level 3
  • Designed for the specified .44 Magnum handgun threat
  • Bullet resistant laminated glazing
  • Complete ballistic glass and frame assembly

UL 752 establishes specific ballistic threats and test requirements for bullet resistant building materials. Level 3 is commonly specified for commercial and institutional applications requiring protection against higher-powered handgun threats.

Complete Glass & Door Lite Frame Kit

This isn't just a piece of ballistic glass. Each kit includes:

  • UL 752 Level 3 bullet resistant glass
  • Heavy-duty bullet resistant door lite frame
  • Complete glass-and-frame solution
  • Designed for doors 1-3/4" to 2" thick
  • Custom manufactured to your selected dimensions

Providing the glass and frame together eliminates the need to source a separate vision frame capable of accommodating the thick ballistic glazing.

How to Order the Correct Door Lite Size

The size you order is the required door cut-out size.

For example, when ordering a:

24" x 24" Door Lite Kit

you will have approximately:

  • Door Cut-Out: 24" x 24"
  • Visible Glass: 22" x 22"
  • Overall Frame: 26" x 26"

The visible glass is approximately 2" smaller than the ordered size, while the overall frame is approximately 2" larger.

Measure and enter your required door cut-out dimensions when ordering.

Bullet Resistant Door Glass

The transparent portion of the assembly uses laminated bullet resistant safety glazing engineered to provide ballistic protection while maintaining visibility through the door.

Glass Features

  • Laminated ballistic construction
  • UL 752 Level 3 ballistic resistance
  • Impact-resistant safety glazing
  • Meets ANSI Z97.1
  • Meets CPSC 16 CFR Part 1201, Categories I & II
  • Transparent security without eliminating visibility through the door

Unlike ordinary tempered or laminated safety glass, ballistic glazing uses a specialized multi-layer construction designed to absorb and disperse energy from firearm impacts.

Where Are Bullet Resistant Door Lite Kits Used?

Ballistic door vision panels are commonly installed in commercial and institutional facilities where occupants require both visibility and increased protection.

Common applications include:

  • Schools and educational facilities
  • Government buildings
  • Courthouses
  • Police and law enforcement facilities
  • Security offices
  • Banks and financial institutions
  • Commercial offices
  • Reception and administrative areas
  • Pharmacies
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Cash-handling areas
  • Utility and infrastructure facilities
  • Secure entrances
  • Interior security doors

Bullet Resistant Door Lite vs. Standard Door Glass

A conventional door lite kit is primarily designed to provide visibility through a door. Even when ordinary safety glass is used, it should not be assumed to provide ballistic protection.

A bullet resistant door lite uses specialized ballistic glazing and a compatible heavy-duty frame to create a vision opening designed for a specific ballistic threat.

Our standard kit is designed for UL 752 Level 3 protection, providing a purpose-built solution for projects requiring ballistic-resistant door glazing.

Bullet Resistant vs. Bulletproof Door Glass

You may see these products referred to as bulletproof door windows, bulletproof door glass, or bulletproof vision panels, but bullet resistant is the more accurate terminology.

Ballistic glazing is tested against specific firearm and ammunition threats. No glazing should be assumed to resist every type of ballistic threat.

For that reason, the required UL 752 protection level should be determined based on the security requirements of the project.

Important: The Door Must Also Be Ballistic Rated

Installing a UL 752 Level 3 door lite kit does not automatically make a standard door bullet resistant.

For the complete opening to provide the intended level of ballistic protection, the door, door frame, glazing, lite frame, hardware, surrounding wall construction, and other relevant components must provide the appropriate protection for the specified threat.

If your project requires a complete ballistic door assembly, make sure all components are selected according to the project's security requirements.

Custom Ballistic Door Lite Kits

In addition to our standard UL 752 Level 3 configuration, Liberty Shielding can provide custom sizes, quantities, and ballistic protection levels for specialized projects.

Custom configurations are available for projects with requirements beyond the standard options available for online ordering.

Typical lead time: 3–4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this bullet resistant door lite kit include the glass and frame?

Yes. The kit includes both the bullet resistant glazing and heavy-duty door lite frame. You do not need to purchase the glass and vision frame separately.

What size should I order?

Order according to the door cut-out dimensions.

For example, if your door has or requires a 24" x 24" cut-out, order a 24" x 24" door lite kit.

How much glass will actually be visible?

The visible glass area is approximately 2" smaller than the ordered width and height.

A 24" x 24" order size therefore provides approximately 22" x 22" of visible glass.

What is the overall frame size?

The overall frame is approximately 2" larger than the ordered width and height.

For example, a 24" x 24" ordered size has an overall frame dimension of approximately 26" x 26".

What door thickness does the frame fit?

The door lite frame is designed for doors approximately 1-3/4" to 2" thick.

What does UL 752 Level 3 protect against?

UL 752 Level 3 is a ballistic resistance classification designed around the standard's specified .44 Magnum handgun threat.

Can I put this kit into a regular commercial door?

The kit can be installed into a compatible door of the appropriate thickness, but installing ballistic glass into a standard door does not make the entire door assembly bullet resistant. If complete ballistic protection is required, the door and surrounding assembly must also provide the required ballistic resistance.

Is this the same as a bulletproof door window?

“Bulletproof door window” is a common search term for this type of product, but bullet resistant door lite is more technically accurate. The assembly is designed to resist the specific ballistic threat associated with its tested rating rather than every possible firearm threat.
