DefendEntry^TM for the Hospitality & Retail Sectors

Elevating Retail & Hospitality through Inviting, Human-Centered Security

DefendEntry^TM by McGrory Glass represents a sophisticated evolution in retail and hospitality security, moving away from obstructive traditional barriers. As the premier choice for luxury sectors where maintaining an inviting and modernized atmosphere is as critical as physical protection, DefendEntry^TM ensures that high-end storefronts and hospitality venues remain open, transparent, and welcoming. Typical usage cases include boutique storefronts, hotel lobby entrances, and jewelry display enclosures where “invisible” security is required. This innovative approach focuses on normalization, replacing unsightly security gates with expansive, full-vision design to address the psychological needs of customers and staff. By maximizing daylighting, the system allows brands to showcase their products in the best possible light, creating a secure environment where safety is felt but never seen.

The technical benefits of DefendEntry^TM lie in its sophisticated multi-ply laminate with proprietary interlayer construction, engineered to remain intact even after repeated high-force impacts. These units are rigorously tested to meet ASTM F1233 and specialized retail security standards, providing the significant time delay necessary for law enforcement to respond to “smash-and-grab” attempts. Unlike standard safety glass, DefendEntry^TM is designed as a durable humane finish that resists scratching and maintains long-term optical clarity. Its non-spall performance ensures that, should an attack occur, occupants are protected from flying glass shards, while inherent acoustic dampening properties create a calming, premium acoustic environment within bustling commercial landscapes.
