CornellCookson, a Multiple-Award Winner in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program, is introducing the new EntryDefender™ Door, the only American made rolling steel door that meets stringent U.S. Department of State standards for forced entry and ballistic resistance of structural systems [SD-STD-01.01 (Revision G)].
The EntryDefender™ Door protects government buildings, pharmacies, cannabis dispensaries, manufacturing facilities, and other sensitive buildings from mob attacks for up to 60 minutes, allowing architects, designers and other specifiers the flexibility to incorporate large openings into designs without compromising security and life safety, stated the company.
Designed to Protect, Manufactured to Last
“The initial goal of EntryDefender™ was to protect U.S. Department of State and military personnel at American embassies around the world,” explained Heather Bender, strategic marketing manager, CornellCookson.
“After we were contacted by the State Department, CornellCookson engineers and product specialists worked alongside the government to meet their stringent standards – resulting in a door that has multiple security applications.”
The robust steel curtain features interlocking slats that compress when in the closed position, creating a smooth surface and reducing potential pry points.
As an attack persists, the interlocking slats engage and further prevent separation.
The reinforced bottom bar and discreet locking system resists lifting force, making the EntryDefender™ nearly impossible to defeat, said the company.
(The award winning EntryDefender™ Door is designed to protect government buildings, pharmaceutical and cannabis dispensaries, manufacturing facilities, and other sensitive structures from attack for 5, 15 and 60 minutes in accordance with the U.S. Department of State Standard for forced entry SD-STD-01.01, Revision G (Amended). It is the only rolling door in the United States that meets that criteria and still allows designers and architects the flexibility to design large openings without compromising security.

“Buying time is a critical safety component during violent attacks – even a few minutes can be the difference between relief and devastation,” explained Siva Davuluri, vice president of marketing, CornellCookson.
“During Department of State testing and certification, EntryDefender™ showed no signs of failure after 15 minutes of a violent mob-style attack.”
“It continued to keep the mob out for 30 minutes, 45 minutes and then hit the maximum test length of 60 minutes – at which point the test was concluded.”
“High-performance rolling doors and grilles are still the preferred option for many applications as they provide standard security features and significant protection against theft attempts,” added Bender.
“The question is, how much protection does your client really need?
“For any application where there is a significant risk of intent to harm, violent forced entry, or terrorist threats, then EntryDefender™ is the solution.”
EntryDefender™ is available in a wide variety of colors and finishes.
This includes more than 180 SpectraShield® powder coating colors and 11 AtmoShield™ textured powder coating colors.
It can also be specified in a CycleShield™ high cycle powder coating that offers significant abrasion protection.
EntryDefender™ is now available at CornellCookson dealers throughout the United States.
