What Is the AG Series of All-Glass Doors?
The AG Series by Riot Glass LLC is our proprietary line of glass ballistic doors (bullet-resistant glass doors).

Available with a variety of ballistic-grade infills (glazing panels)
Highly customizable
Suitable for all types of commercial applications
AG Series Assembly Details and Customization Options
Riot Glass All-Glass Doors consist of low-profile top and bottom door rails containing one of our patented bullet-resistant glass infills. Each door system also comes with framing, heavy-duty hinges, closers, and mounting hardware.
Beyond the basic assembly components, our AG Series doors can be highly personalized and customized to suit your aesthetic and practical needs.
All-Glass Door Infill Options
AG Series bullet- and forced entry-resistant glass doors are available with glass-clad polycarbonate or full polycarbonate infills, in various thicknesses and ballistic ratings.
Take a look at the chart below to understand the different UL 752 ballistic resistance ratings that we offer*:
*We offer security glazing up to a UL 752 level 8 rating, meaning they are capable of stopping 5 rounds from an AK-47 rifle using 150-grain military rounds.
Any Riot Glass security glazing infill you choose will look and feel just like your regular door glass. AG Series doors do not block out natural light or affect visibility in any noticeable fashion — they fortify your property without making it look fortified.

Use Cases for Ballistic-Grade and Forced Entry-Resistant AG Series Glass Doors
Glass doors serve important functional and aesthetic purposes on modern buildings, but they are also highly vulnerable to the range of security threats that commercial properties face every day.
From high-end specialty retail stores to schools and government buildings, there are very real threats of forced entry, burglary, smash-and-grab theft, rioting and looting, and even active threat scenarios for building owners to worry about.
So, how do you harden a building’s defenses against such threats, without sacrificing natural light, visibility, and curb appeal? The answer to that question should be clear by now — with Riot Glass All-Glass ballistic doors.
AG Series doors can withstand even the most prolonged and determined forced entry attempts, denying access and keeping the bad guys out, even if riddled with bullets.
A Complete Retrofit Glass Door Security Solution
Riot Glass LLC’s AG Series doors are one of our many retrofit fenestration security solutions, meaning they are designed to fit into your existing openings without the need to demolish and replace surrounding materials.
These high-security doors replace your existing glass doors and can be combined with other security glazing retrofit solutions to reinforce all surrounding glass and framing.
For example, if you have a glass door that’s part of a large glass storefront, and is flanked on either side by floor-to-ceiling windows, we can also provide security glazing shields to protect the existing windows on either side from forced entry and ballistic attacks.
These types of retrofit security solutions are extremely cost-effective and are ideal when you don’t want to disrupt business with a large glass replacement project. AG Series doors and other Riot Glass security glazing retrofits are ideal for:
Schools, colleges, and universities
Luxury retailers
Government buildings
Detention centers and correctional facilities
Hospitals and psychiatric wards
Hotels, resorts, and restaurants
Banks and other financial institutions
Religious and spiritual centers
Offices and corporate headquarters
Any other commercial property where high security is required
