Security guards, military personnel and other government officials have a tough enough job without worrying about the safety of their post. At Porta-King, we build quality bullet proof buildings to ensure a protected enclosure for those who may be threatened in the workplace.
It’s important to note that although ‘bullet proof’ is the widely used commercial term for such buildings, the more accurate term is ‘bullet resistant.’ The degree of bullet resistance is based on U.L. rating (Underwriters Laboratory) 1 through 8 and NIJ (National Institute of Justice) threat level rating from I-IV.

Level 1 – 9 mm Full Metal Copper Jacket with Lead Core
Level 2 – .367 Magnum Jacketed Lead Soft Point
Level 3 – .44 Magnum Lead Semi-Wadcutter Gas Checked
Level 4 – .30 Caliber Rifle Lead Core Soft Point
Level 5 – 7.62mm Rifle Lead Core Full Metal Copper Jacket Military Ball (.308 Caliber)
