7 Benefits of Partnering with a World-Class Bulletproof Glass Company for Your Security Project
So, you’re ready to harden your physical security with ballistic barriers. But how can you be certain that the products you’re buying will actually protect you, your team, and your company? Our best advice is to skip the drop-shipped products and work with an experienced, trusted ballistic barrier provider to get the safety, service, and aesthetics you deserve.
Beware of the Unknowns with Cheap Bulletproof Glass
It may be tempting to buy bulletproof glass online from a company that can ship off-the-shelf products tomorrow. When you have limited time and budget, this may sound like the best and easiest option. However, if you go this route, you may be trading security for convenience. Without proper installation, planning, and support systems, your bulletproof products may not actually provide the kind of life-saving protection you’re looking for.
The Benefits of Working with an Experienced Bulletproof Glass Company
Working with a reputable bulletproofing company is a great way to ensure you get true ballistic security and peace of mind. At Bullet Guard, we’ve been helping people protect what matters most since 1976 and our incredible team is ready to help you achieve your ballistic security goals.
1. We Help You Create Robust Ballistic Security Plans
Partner with a bulletproof glass supplier who can walk you through the system and help you understand how to identify and address potential gaps in your security plan. When you don’t know what you don’t know, you need an expert for guidance. This is where Bullet Guard can offer invaluable assistance.
Our local, on-staff experts can help you understand what types of security weaknesses intruders may try to exploit, including identifying problems that you may not have spotted yourself. An experienced bulletproof security supplier can identify your vulnerabilities and offer effective solutions.
2. We Help You Get the Protection You Need (and Nothing You Don’t)
Many drop-ship suppliers only offer bulletproof glass. While bulletproof glass is certainly important, true protection often includes other products like ballistic fiberglass, framing and accessories. When your ballistic barrier supplier fabricates and installs every portion of your security project, they will make sure that each piece of material is capable of providing the level of bulletproof protection you’re looking for. In many cases, this involves engineering the entire system to be structurally sound and bullet-resistant—a service drop-shippers can’t provide.
3. We Know Custom Solutions Mean Improved Safety and a Better Fit
When you limit yourself to off-the-shelf solutions, it may be challenging to make them fit in your space. This is especially true if you are retrofitting an existing building for ballistic protection.
A bulletproof glass company that takes your measurements and creates customized pieces can provide a more functional and elegant solution. Ballistic barriers tailored to your space are far less likely to leave any gaps in security, and can achieve a higher degree of aesthetics. In fact, a high-quality ballistic barrier supplier like Bullet Guard can even match your existing interior design, allowing you to maintain your branding with only subtle changes for employees and customers.
4. We Hold Our Products to the Gold Standard of Ballistic Security
Bullet Guard, and our parent company Total Security Solutions, takes security very seriously, which means all our products are independently tested to UL 752. This is the gold standard for rating bullet-resistant building material like windows and walls. We test to this standard so you can be absolutely confident that your bulletproof glass will perform as intended. A number of our products are tested to additional ratings, such as forced entry. If you have a specific type of protection in mind, please contact our team.
5. We Put Your Security Needs First
At Bullet Guard, we’re not here to upsell you on the latest and greatest. We truly care about security, which means we’re going to put in the effort to make sure you get the physical security your space needs.
For us, it’s about the end-goal, and it’s about the experience, and it’s about keeping people safe. It’s about putting in the time, getting the work done, and making your barrier look good. We are passionate about safety, and we’re happy to show you firsthand the difference that passion can make.
6. An Experienced, Supportive Team, Working for You
Working with a local company like Bullet Guard means connecting with a security expert who knows you by name. Your project will be handled by an experienced, in-house team who is familiar with your project and progress at every step.
We know the customer experience is what keeps people coming back to us for their ballistic security concerns. When you see exceptional service, you talk about it. We know you’ll have good things to say about Bullet Guard—we’ve staked our reputation on it!
7. We’re Proud to Be Made in the USA
While the business down the street has their drop-shipped bulletproof glass tied up in customs, you know that our product is made right here in the USA. When you support local, you’re supporting fellow business-owners, domestic job creation, and an exceptional product.

Bullet Guard Joins the Total Security Solutions Family and Expands Operational Capacity
In November of 2021, Bullet Guard was wholly acquired by Total Security Solutions (TSS), an industry leader in creating customized commercial bulletproof barriers. We are excited to announce that beginning in 2025, we will be operating under the Total Security Solutions name.
This transition will allow Bullet Guard access to growth capital, extensive supply chains, advanced technology, and the expanded operational capacity that comes with being part of the TSS family. We will continue serving our customers from our current address in Sacramento, CA, and retain the same experienced staff you have come to depend on over the years.
Working with TSS Experts to Expand Capabilities
Since early 2022, Bullet Guard has been working with the TSS leadership team to modernize our operations and expand our offerings to better serve customers in retail and education.
Some of our upgrades included new CNC routers and waterjet cutters. We also worked on improving our communication systems and reconfigured our production floor to optimize efficiency. Soon after that, we hired more production staff, project managers, and account managers to help us meet growing customer needs.
TSS CEO Jim Richards also worked with us to integrate Bullet Guard with the Total Security Solutions EOS (or Entrepreneurial Operating System™). EOS is a comprehensive set of business concepts and tools that make it much easier for an organization—no matter how large or small—to move together toward its goals.
Now, with the transition to the TSS name, our customers can also look forward to continued expansion of the existing supply chains, technology, and operational capacity.
Exciting Changes, Consistent Service
At Bullet Guard, we’ve been manufacturing and installing bulletproof barriers since 1976. We never take the gravity of our work for granted. With every transaction window and bulletproof door, we’re thinking about the end user and keeping them safe. It’s a job we’re proud to do, and our team is so grateful to our community for the continued trust and partnership.
TSS is devoted to quality work and excellent customer service, the same standards that you’ve come to know from Bullet Guard over the past 40+ years. While we may have a new name and logo, our dedicated employees will always be here, helping you make the right choices for your security needs.
For any questions regarding the transition, please call us at 916.373.0402 or send us a message online.
