20210302130 · 2021-09-30 ·

A bullet-resistant garage door is formed with multiple garage door panels spaced vertically and pivotable relative to one another to permit conventional opening of the garage door. Each garage door panel is formed with an interior ballistic panel, an exterior ballistic panel and an insulation panel positioned between the interior and exterior ballistic panels. A ballistic shield is attached to the exterior ballistic panel to overlap the gap between the exterior ballistic panels of adjacent garage door panels. The exterior ballistic panel is operable to allow the penetration of a bullet of a given caliber while dissipating the energy of the bullet so that the bullet will not penetrate the interior ballistic panel and become trapped in the insulation panel. Sheeting and trim members can be attached to the exterior ballistic panel and the shield to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance for the garage door panels while maintaining bullet-resistant characteristics.
