Engineered to exceed ASTM 1450 Grade #1 standards, these doors feature 14-gauge steel skins and minimal heat distortion during fabrication. Ideal for correctional facilities requiring high-security access points without compromising on durability or safety compliance.
Detention Furniture
We manufacture a comprehensive range of detention furniture including pedestal tables, spider tables, bunks, and desk/seat combos using stainless steel and powder-coated mild steel. Designed for maximum durability in high-traffic environments, our furniture incorporates anti-ligature features and meets strict institutional safety requirements while maintaining functional aesthetics.
