Bank Security Glazing, Bulletproof Teller Windows & Security Doors
Protect tellers, customers, and assets with DefenseLite bullet resistant glazing, transaction windows, security doors, and smash proof glass from FSJ Tactical.
Banks and credit unions face threats ranging from armed robbery to smash-and-grab attacks and bomb threats. According to FBI data, the U.S. saw more than 1,500 bank robberies in 2022 alone. Tellers are especially exposed because they work face-forward with direct access to cash. FSJ Tactical protects financial institutions with DefenseLite security glazing and bullet-resistant transaction systems.
Trusted Protection for Bank Security Windows
DefenseLite retrofit products add a protective layer over existing glass, doors, and display cases, so branches can be hardened without major renovation. From the front door to the teller line to the drive-up window, FSJ Tactical delivers coordinated ballistic and forced-entry protection.
Bullet-Resistant Transaction Windows
DefenseLite transaction windows provide high-level ballistic protection while maintaining clear visibility and natural communication. Designed to retrofit or integrate into new construction, these UL 752-rated systems keep transactions secure without compromising design.

Complete Branch Protection
Lobby & Entry Glass
BulletShield ballistic glazing retrofits existing lobby glass with UL 752-rated protection.
Entry Doors
AccessShield re-glazes existing aluminum doors with bullet-resistant lites, and bullet-resistant doors secure vaults and back offices.
Ballistic Counters & Walls
Bullet-resistant counter tops and wall panels are non-ricocheting (they capture the bullet), weigh about 25% less than steel, and meet or exceed UL 752.
Display Cases & ATM Vestibules
CaseShield protects displays, and smash proof glass overlays protect vestibules and storefront glass after hours.
Why Retrofit for Banks
Full replacement with traditional bulletproof glass requires new framing, heavy glass, and long branch closures. DefenseLite overlays mount to existing glass using all-weather adhesives, high-performance films, VHB tapes, and mechanical security anchors. Branches stay open, and the finished installation is nearly invisible to customers.
