Bullet Proof Security Systems, News, Information | Demand TSS

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.”

After the planning and production processes are complete, we are ready to install your bullet-resistant barrier. Our accuracy in the initial phases makes for an efficient, mess-free installation.

Your bulletproof products will be carefully packaged and shipped to your facility by truck.  Total Security Solutions can begin working shortly after your business closes for the evening or on Saturday so as to minimize the inconvenience to you and your customers. For many installations, we can be in and out within a single night. And we’ll have your facility cleaned up and ready for normal business hours.

Recently, Total Security Solutions launched a channel on YouTube.com to enable customers to watch the bullet resistant barrier installation process firsthand. Currently, we have featured installation videos for our Secure Sound Bulletproof Barrier System and our Vertical Slider.

While many convenience stores may already have horizontal or vertical sliders installed in their facilities providing varying levels of security at different times of day, Total Security Solutions launched a new product – the Electric Vertical Slider. Demonstrating our commitment to innovation, Total Security Solutions developed the Electric Vertical Slider to provide users ease of opening and closing a transaction window through the use of an electric motor.

In addition, electronic locks are used to ensure maximum security. Photo electric eyes, similar to the operation of a garage door, are installed to ensure safe operation. If an object intersects the laser beam of the photo electric eyes, the slider will stop operation immediately.

The Electric Vertical Slider is available in UL Level 1-3 protection and is ideal for convenience stores, fast food outlets, governmental offices, and other high profile/high traffic facilities.

Just as banks are a common target for robberies, convenience stores face the same challenge as a result of their late hours. Many convenience stores do not have the protection of bullet proof glass and most clerks are advised not to respond if a theft is underway.

“It happens all the time. It’s not something that happens once in a blue moon,” Ali Zaidi said of the trend in robberies at stores such as his.

Some convenience stores, however, are taking steps to safeguard their employees by installing bullet resistant barriers. The most commonly used barriers for convenience stores are horizontal or vertical sliders. Providing UL Level 1-3 security, these bulletproof barrier systems can be customized to provide different levels of security at different times of day.
