Description
Security Reimagined – Create a safe room in your home by installing a security door that is not only bullet resistant, but will also withstand extreme brute force attack, without any of the complications, disruptions and high costs of building alterations.
In less than a day replace your conventional door with an aesthetically pleasing HomeShelter™ PRD (Panic Room Door).
Quality Panic Room Doors
The HomeShelter™ PRD consists of two solid steel sheets which form the outer faces of the door, selected in grade and thickness to achieve the required ballistic rating. One of the sheets is oversized such that it conceals and protects the gap between door and frame. This means that in the (preferred) outward opening arrangement there are no visible openings that can be exploited with crowbars or prybars. The heavy duty hinges of proprietary design are so integrated into the PRD door and frame that they are fully concealed and present no visible opportunity for attack.
The space between the sheets may be filled with an acoustic or thermal insulating and fire resistant core, supplemented with matching edge seals.
An adjustable panel is provided at the bottom of the door to accommodate door openings of varying or uneven heights.
Sleep Easy with these Key Benefits of a Panic Room

With a revolutionary and affordable security solution developed specifically for South African businesses and homes.
The HomeShelter™ PRD (Panic Room Door) transforms an ordinary room into a protected safe space – without expensive building alterations, lengthy construction, or major disruption.
Engineered to resist both ballistic threats and extreme brute-force attack, the HomeShelter™ PRD (Panic Room Door) combines serious protection with an attractive, discreet appearance suitable for both business and home environments.
So What’s Different with this Panic Room Door?
Affordable, versatile and very quick to install.
The HomeShelter™ PRD (Panic Room Door) looks like a normal door but with two layers of thick, bullet resisting solid steel sheet it is impervious to shots fired from all common handguns up to .44 Magnum, as well as any form of hand inflicted attack, including crowbars and pry bars. Upgradeable to Rifle Ballistic Bullet Proof
Concealed hinges and door-frame overlaps ensure that there are no visible gaps or openings which present vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
Specifically designed to be a simple replacement of a conventional door in a standard steel frame.
