Clerk Outwits Robber with Bullet Resistant Barrier

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

A little smarts and a bullet-proof barrier prevented a robbery at a Mobile Gas Station in Tamba Bay, Florida. After one robber unsuccessfully attempted to open the cash register of the convenience store, a second robber brought the clerk at gunpoint from the cooler to open it for them.

“Ahmad told the robbers they had to step away so he could close the door to the enclosure around the register or the drawer would not open. When they stepped outside, he shut the door and locked it, putting himself behind the bullet-proof glass, police said.”

Bullet-Resistant Glass Window Finds New Use

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

A former bank branch location turned car wash might be hard to recognize if it weren’t for a few trace reminders, like the “product storeroom and its massive foot-thick steel door. Or maybe the former bank’s
bullet-proof glass window, now converted into a coffee table.” As the financial industry continues to struggle, many banks have closed branches providing prime locations for other companies who can see their potential.

Architect Resources

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Recently, Total Security Solutions renamed its “Resources and Planning Tools” section to “Architect Resources” and added downloadable CAD drawings, as well as PDFs, of each of its bulletproof products. Each CAD drawing provides typical details, including plans, elevations, and sections for products, such as our Arch Window System, Ballistic Counters, and Interior Transaction Window. You can also easily access data sheets, which provide product-related details such as features, available sizes, and finish options, for many of our bullet-resistant products.

Additional resources available for architects, contractors, and other industries include installation videos of a Secure Sound System and Vertical Slider, as well as product demonstration videos of our Natural Voice Transmission Window and Package Passer.
