🗣️ Customer Testimonial

"Since installing the Avansa G2 Anti Bandit Door in our cash office in Johannesburg, we've felt a significant boost in security. Knowing it can withstand serious attacks like those from a .357 or shotgun gives our staff immense peace of mind. It's a solid, professional-looking door that genuinely acts as a deterrent. The installation was smooth, and the quality is exactly what we needed to protect our daily takings."

🎯 Ideal Applications

The Avansa G2 Anti Bandit Door is the ideal security solution for businesses operating in high-risk environments across Southern Africa, particularly those handling significant cash volumes or sensitive assets. It is perfectly suited for retail shops with cash offices in busy urban centres like Johannesburg and Cape Town, banking branches requiring reinforced entry points for tellers and vaults in areas prone to armed robberies, and logistics hubs where cash-in-transit or valuable goods are handled. Its robust design also makes it essential for high-security facilities, government buildings, and ATMs in both urban and rural areas of countries such as Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, where reliable ballistic protection and forced-entry deterrence are paramount for staff safety and asset protection.

💡 How It Works

The Avansa G2 Anti Bandit Door functions as a formidable physical barrier against ballistic threats and forced entry. Its core strength lies in the 5mm mild steel plate construction and the 38mm Bullet-Resistant Glass (BRG) view panel, both designed to absorb and resist impacts from specified firearms. When an attack occurs, the door's multi-layered composition and robust frame are engineered to delay and deter criminals, buying critical time for security personnel to respond or for emergency services to arrive. The heavy-duty hinges and optional electronic locking mechanisms further enhance its resistance to prying and brute-force attempts, ensuring that the secure area remains protected.

💰 Value Benefits

  • Enhanced Safety & Peace of Mind: Protects staff and assets from armed attacks, reducing the risk of injury and financial loss.
  • Deterrence Against Crime: Its formidable appearance and ballistic resistance act as a strong deterrent, making your premises a less attractive target for criminals.

  • Long-Term Durability: Constructed from high-quality mild steel and designed for resilience, ensuring a long operational life and reduced replacement costs.
  • Customisable Security: Optional features like electronic locking integrate seamlessly with existing security systems, offering tailored protection.
