Residential Security Doors for Homes
EMBASSY SERIES · FE/5 · RC3
Protect exterior entrances and interior spaces with a complete, pre-hung security door and frame assembly. Embassy Series residential security doors combine tested forced-entry resistance, including FE/5 performance and an RC3 classification, with multi-point locking and custom made-to-order high-end finishes.
High-End Residential Security Doors
The Embassy Series combines reinforced steel construction with the appearance expected in a custom home. Wood veneers, decorative milling, colors, glazing and hardware can be selected to complement the home’s architecture while concealing the door’s security construction.
Because its protective components are integrated into the assembly, the door does not need to advertise its purpose or introduce a commercial or institutional appearance. It can serve as a formal entrance or a discreet interior opening while blending in with the surrounding trim, millwork and adjacent doors.
Embassy doors are available for exterior and selected interior applications, including single- and double-door openings, solid or glazed designs and custom sizes made for the project.
Each door is configured around the opening rather than forcing the project to accommodate a standard product. Door swing, handing, proportions, finish and hardware can be coordinated with the way the entrance will look and function in the home.
Embassy FE/5 Residential Security Door Details
The Embassy Series is designed for homes and private spaces with elevated security requirements. Its reinforced 3-inch door leaf and integrated security features are the result of years of development and independent forced-entry testing.
The Embassy was tested at NTS Chesapeake in Belcamp, Maryland, to U.S. Department of State standard SD-STD-01.01, Revision G, achieving FE/5 forced-entry performance. It was also tested by ift Rosenheim under European standard EN 1627 and awarded an RC3 resistance classification.

Armored Locking and Controlled Access
Locking components are protected by drill-resistant manganese plates to help prevent manipulation. Choose a mechanical multi-point locking system or the ISEO/Fiam X1R electromechanical lock.
Depending on the configuration, access options can include:
- High-security key
- Factory keypad or multi-technology reader
- Biometric fingerprint scanner
- Bluetooth smartphone access
- Client-supplied access-control reader
- Interior handle or thumb-turn for secure-side egress
Multi-Point Bolt Protection
The multi-point locking system secures the door into multiple areas of the reinforced frame. Exterior configurations with a threshold can include:
- Ten active locking bolts along the latch side
- One active bolt engaging the frame header
- One active bolt engaging the threshold
- Four 16 mm fixed security bolts along the hinge side
Interior configurations without a threshold or floor bolt may use eleven active locking points.
High-Security Cylinders and Adjustable Hinges
High-security cylinders provide controlled key-management options, while adjustable security hinges allow the door to be properly aligned during installation.
Reinforced Frame Anchoring
The L-shaped steel frame profile is secured into the structural opening with 16 fasteners. Steel liners measuring 24 mm help protect the anchoring points and reinforce the connection between the frame and surrounding structure.
Heat and Sound Insulation
A 2-inch layer of rock wool inside the door contributes to improved thermal and sound insulation while supporting practical everyday use in residential settings.
Available Ballistic Configurations
Optional ballistic configurations are available for defined handgun and rifle threats, including UL 752 Level 3 and Level 8 protection for qualifying projects.
The final rating must be confirmed for the complete door, frame, glazing, hardware and installation assembly before production.
Architectural Design Options
Choose from a broad range of architectural designs, decorative milling, glazing and colors. Available finishing panels can create the appearance of a custom wood entrance while concealing the reinforced security construction.
Plan the Right Residential Security Door for Your Home
Every Embassy FE/5 door is specifically made to order around the identified threat, opening size, wall construction, forced-entry requirements, locking preference and architectural design.
Provide the project zip code, intended use, approximate rough-opening dimensions, wall construction and any preferences for the door swing, locking system, architectural finish or ballistic protection.
Helpful Information to Include
- Project ZIP code
- Exterior, interior or safe-room application
- Approximate rough-opening size
- Wall construction
- Door swing and handing
- Mechanical or electromechanical locking preference
- Finish and glazing requirements
- Ballistic protection requirements, if applicable
HIGHER PROTECTION OPTION
Explore the Fortress Series FE/15
For residential, commercial and secure-facility projects requiring greater forced-entry resistance, the Fortress Series provides tested FE/15 performance and an RC4 resistance classification.
Like the Embassy, the Fortress is supplied as a complete, pre-hung door and frame system with multi-point locking, customizable finishes and mechanical or electromechanical access options. Ballistic configurations are also available for UL 752 Level 3 and Level 8 protection.
