Designing the Luxury Home of Your Dreams
Every day at FBS, we’re working with clients, architects, and interior designers to help create luxury homes unlike any other. We may not be creating floor plans or choosing color palettes, but we believe that our part — assisting with the doors and windows — plays a major role in luxury home design. Whether you’re looking for unmatched craftsmanship or security doors and windows that will keep anyone and everything uninvited out of your luxury dream home, we can make that happen. To assist our clients in this quest, we have a team of architectural designers that can take any and all of your requests and requirements and turn them into a work of art. Here’s what you need to know about our architectural team, what they can assist you with, and how they work withRead more
How to Make Your Smart Home Brilliant and Secure
Hello there! My name is David Vranicar and I’m the Managing Partner here at Fortified & Ballistic Security. I’m very proud to say I’ve been here since the very beginning — I’m one of the founders of the business. I meet with almost all of our clients at some point or another, whether it’s at the beginning when they’re trying to decide if they want to hire us, or later on to look at the final product. I take a lot of pride in getting to know the people we work with and for the sake of transparency, I thought I should get down a few things about myself. I think it’s important to know who you’re working with. Background: Home Automation Before I got into home security, I worked in home automation for many years.Read more
Insider Look: How Home Security Doors and Windows are Made
When you talk to us about your home security door needs, you’ll probably hear us mention Italy a few (dozen) times. We talk about it a lot because that’s where our doors are physically made — at a massive factory in San Martino Buon Albergo, Verona. It’s where all the magic happens. The artisans who build our products in Italy have decades of experience creating custom security doors and windows that are elegant and inspiring. We guarantee they’re unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. We’re so proud to work with them, we wanted to highlight why we love their work so much — and why we’re sure you’ll love it, too. Old World Craftsmanship Meets Cutting Edge Technology Like any other country in the world, Italy has its own unique culture. While the country as weRead more
How to Make Home Security Invisible and Elegant
There’s no doubt that the most important aspect of any home security component is that it’s effective. Perhaps the second most important aspect is that it’s hidden. People with traditional home security alarm systems often put that little sign out in front of the house to signal that the home has an alarm on it, which has varying degrees of success in diverting intruders. And perhaps if you’re a regular person who doesn’t live in the limelight, and petty thieves are the only people you’re worried about breaking into your home, that’s enough. But if you live your life in the public eye, or you have other reasons to be concerned about your personal safety, that little sign may not be sufficient. If someone is specifically targeting you or someone in your family, that little signRead more
Covering Your Home Security Doors with Platinum Level Service
People often see us as a door and window company, but that’s not actually the case. Sure, we make security doors and windows for luxury homes, but we’re a security company that sells doors and windows.

We understand the gravity and the importance of the products we create, and given that our entire reputation is banked on our doors and windows being completely functional and secure, we want to make sure our customers are satisfied with their purchases for many years to come. To that end, we’ve decided to expand upon a program we’ve had in place for quite some time now. Starting January 2020, we will beRead more

Why Your DIY Safe Room Won’t Keep You Safe
When you’re searching for ways to keep yourself, your loved ones, and your home secure, it can be easy to fall down the rabbit hole of DIY safe room tutorials. It’s a tempting topic. The idea that you can use your own two hands and some easily-available materials to enhance your security (and peace of mind) is certainly alluring.
Making Security Door Installation a Breeze with the Perfect Frame™
There are a number of factors that go into security door installation. They’re similar to the ones you’ll encounter with every door installation, but our doors are unlike any other kind of doors you’ve ever seen, which complicates things. In the past, our clients have become frustrated with this aspect of our business, so we’ve been looking for ways to improve installation. Of course, having clients literally all over the world makes this prospect more difficult.
