DefendDoor
Aluminum / Glass
UL-certified level 1 ballistic glass and aluminum panels give DefendDoor unmatched strength, security and luxury in a residential or commercial entrance solution.
Constructed with Level 1 Ballistic aluminum and glass sectional panels, DefendDoor provides security against projectiles while maintaining its luxurious look and feel. ArmRLite’s ballistic glass has been certified by Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL), a nationally recognized testing laboratory authorized by OSHA to perform safety testing. UL levels are widely accepted as the standard of security and durability, and the Level 1 Ballistic glass used in ArmRLite’s DefendDoor can resist bullets from small-caliber handguns. With its unmatched combination of security, strength, and elegance, DefendDoor is the perfect entrance solution for any home or business.

This customization makes ArmLite the leader in luxurious overhead sectional and garage doors and ensures our customers get the ultimate entrance door solution for their home or business.
ArmRLite’s Energy Efficiency Package is an upgrade option where all of the rails and stiles on our aluminum and glass overhead doors are injected with polyurethane expanding foam thereby insulating the aluminum frame and simultaneously forming a water-resistant feature. Insulating the rails and stiles will not eliminate water infiltration, however, it greatly reduces water infiltration as well as providing insulation benefits. For a fully insulated overhead door, insulated glass is needed as well as the Energy Efficiency Package. ArmRLite is the only glass garage door manufacturer able to accommodate 1” insulated glass units into our door frame. Other insulated glass options include 7⁄16” and 5⁄8” insulated glass units.
Heli-Arc Welding Method: Lengths of 6063-T5 alloy hollow aluminum extrusions are cut to size for rails and stiles. Stiles are then contour-milled and accurately joined to the rails by concealed heli-arc welds to produce flush, hairline joints and framework unequaled in strength and durability.
Energy Efficiency / Insulation Options: All of ArmRLite’s welded aluminum and glass models are available with our exclusive Energy Efficiency Package for maximum insulation and water resistance. Download PDF for details.

Matching entrance doors are custom designed to match and line up with adjacent ArmRLite overhead sectional doors. All aluminum and glass models by ArmRLite are available with Matching Entrance Doors. Our matching entrance doors operate as swing-out doors, separate from the adjacent ArmRLite overhead door. Please refer to our pedestrian pass door for egress options within our overhead garage doors. Matching entrance doors are not sold separately and are only available with the purchase of an aluminum and glass overhead sectional door by ArmRLite.
Features
ArmRLite is proud to offer Push-Out Awning Windows which will give customers the option to let fresh air into their homes and businesses safely and easily without having to open their sectional overhead door. These windows are easy to open and close and seal tightly without drafts. They are available for both operational doors and fixed units. Our Push-Out Awning Windows do not compromise the structure of our welded doors which ensures that each of our doors are built to last and exceed the expectations of our customers. These Push-Out Awning Windows are exclusive to ArmRLite and can be finished to match the door frame or custom color. Awning windows cannot be retro-fitted into existing doors.
Many garage door manufacturers and installers in our industry adhere to the old belief that sectional doors cannot be installed on uneven floors. Where in the past a sloped floor would bring a garage door installation to a screeching halt, ArmRLite has developed a custom sloped bottom section rail for our welded aluminum garage door models. The sloping bottom rail does not negatively affect the warranty or structural integrity of our welded aluminum models, ensuring our doors will operate admirably for decades. Sloping bottom sections cannot be retro-fitted into existing door.
ArmRLite’s Step-Over Pass Door for our welded aluminum and glass overhead door models is ideal for commercial use where the general public will not be using it as an egress. Most often seen in service bays and gas stations, ArmRLite’s Step-Over Pass Door can also be incorporated into our welded residential doors. This pass door can not be used as a public egress since the 4″ bottom bar poses a tripping hazard. If you require a pass door without this 4” bottom bar, please refer to ArmRLite’s exclusive ADA Compliant Pass Door. The Step-Over Pass Door is not ADA Compliant and is recommended for private use only.
For the garage door industry, a wind load garage door is assembled, designed and tested to meet a specific wind load value. Typically, garage door manufacturers will have a specific model tested for door impact ratings and can provide wind load rating data on that model based on the size of the overhead door. The smaller the garage door is, the better the wind load value available due to the smaller amount of surface area subject to wind pressure. If your garage door is wind loaded at 20PSF, you are covered for any PSF rating up to a maximum of 20PSF.
While the maximum wind load a product can withstand varies by size, ArmRLite can offer wind loading up to 180mph to protect homes and buildings in hurricane prone, high wind regions. Hurricane rated garage doors for high winds and high pressure can provide the highest level of protection for your situation and geographic region.
