The Role of McKEON’s Forced Entry Doors in Correctional Facilities.

 

Correctional facility design has evolved significantly over the past decade. Once focused almost exclusively on containment, modern prison architecture now seeks to balance security, safety, durability, and rehabilitation-focused environments. This shift has placed new demands on building systems—especially when it comes to door and access control solutions, which serve as the first and last line of defense in a secure facility.

Among the most critical protective measures in correctional infrastructure are forced entry resistant doors. McKEON, a leader in specialty door systems, offers a vertical coiling forced entry resistant door—the EntryShield™ Model FE6000. This product uniquely meets the needs of today’s correctional facilities—delivering uncompromising security without sacrificing operational efficiency or design flexibility. Exterior and interior openings of any kind are often perceived as easy access. Guarded with forced entry resistant opening protectives, breaches can prove to be extremely challenging for those intent on gaining entry or escaping.

The McKEON EntryShield™ FE6000’s heavy-duty construction and state-of-the-art engineering ensure that it provides uncompromising security without sacrificing functionality. The EntryShield™ Model FE6000 forced entry resistant door passed all the requirements of the ASTM F3038, Standard Test Method for Timed Evaluation of Forced-Entry-Resistant Systems, with a rating of 60 minutes, the highest rating achievable with this test standard.
