DefendEntryTM by McGrory Glass is the premier architectural security solution for banking, corporate, data centers, and mixed-use leadership. By replacing aggressive, fortress-style barriers with invisible hardening, this system delivers a normalized environment where elite tactical protection and human-centered design (HCD) coexist seamlessly. This approach ensures that critical infrastructure and personnel—from executive suites and bank teller lines to server room enclosures—are shielded by a sophisticated, transparent layer of defense that prioritizes safety without compromising aesthetics or creating psychological barriers for occupants.
The technical excellence of DefendEntryTM is found in its proprietary laminated glass interlayer construction, engineered to remain intact even after repeated high-force impacts. It is rigorously tested to meet ASTM F1233 forced-entry and UL 972 standards, providing a critical time delay that allows on-site security teams or law enforcement to respond before a breach occurs. A significant benefit for professional environments is the no-spall performance, which ensures that occupants are protected from flying glass shards on the protected side during an attempted robbery or forced-entry. Additionally, the system utilizes low-iron substrates to maintain maximum daylighting and optical clarity, while its inherent acoustic dampening properties (STC 35+) create the quiet, focused atmosphere essential for modern banking and corporate productivity.
