Aspiro Series Defendr Door System

Jan. 19, 2026

This is the first classroom door system tested and certified to the groundbreaking ASTM F3561 standard—the most advanced method for evaluating a door system’s resistance to forced entry in an active shooter attack. ASTM F3561 simulates real-world conditions by first weakening the system with ballistic assault before subjecting it to rigorous impact testing. The certification applies only to fully integrated assemblies that include the door, frame, hardware, and glazing.

2025 PIA Judge's Comment:

"This is a really nice integration of improved security with a variety of compelling finish options. The need for heightened intrusion resistance demands solutions like this."
