Riot Ready installs security window film, Riot Glass®, and bullet-resistant glazing systems for K-12 schools and universities across Western Washington. Forced-entry resistance that buys critical time during active threat events — without making a school feel like a fortress.
Standard glass in school doors, sidelights, and entry windows can be breached in seconds with basic tools. In an active shooter scenario, that means an attacker can gain entry almost immediately — before any lockdown is complete, before law enforcement arrives.
Forced-entry resistant and bullet-resistant glazing changes that calculation. By dramatically increasing the time required to breach entry glass, these systems give students and staff time to shelter in place, give law enforcement time to respond, and in many cases cause an attacker to abandon the attempt entirely.
Riot Ready installs security glass systems specifically for school environments — from security window film for lower-budget applications to full Riot Glass® ballistic systems for high-priority entry points.
Not every school has the budget for full ballistic glazing on every opening. Riot Ready works within school and district budgets to prioritize the highest-risk entry points and recommend the most effective protection level for the available resources.
Not all glass in a school carries the same risk. Riot Ready prioritizes the entry points most likely to be targeted in a forced-entry or active threat scenario.
The primary entry point is the highest-priority opening in any school. Sidelight glass next to main entry doors is one of the most commonly exploited vulnerabilities — easily broken to reach a door handle or push bar. Riot Glass® forced-entry or ballistic systems at main entries are the single highest-ROI security investment a school can make.
The front office reception window is often the first point of contact for anyone entering a school — and the first point of confrontation in an active threat event. Bullet-resistant transaction windows and reception glazing protect staff while maintaining normal daily operations.
Classroom doors with glass panels are a significant vulnerability during a lockdown — an attacker can break the glass to access the door handle. Security film or Riot Glass® on classroom door panels is a cost-effective way to harden this vulnerability across an entire building.
Large-area windows in gymnasiums, cafeterias, and common spaces are often overlooked but represent significant exposure. Security film on these openings holds glass together during impact events and slows forced entry through large glazed areas.
Ground-floor exterior windows are entry points that are often not adequately secured. Security film or forced-entry resistant glazing on perimeter windows significantly raises the effort required to breach the building envelope at any point.
School libraries and media centers often have large glass walls or storefronts facing exterior areas. Security film on these high-exposure glass areas provides a baseline level of forced-entry resistance at an accessible cost.
For schools with limited budgets, security window film on classroom door panels and main entry sidelights provides the highest value per dollar — it significantly slows forced entry at the most critical points. For schools that can invest more, Riot Glass® forced-entry systems at main entries are the single most impactful upgrade available.
Yes. We work with school administrators and district facilities teams to develop phased hardening plans that prioritize the most critical openings within available budget. We can assess an entire campus and provide a prioritized recommendation list with pricing for each phase.
No. Security window film and Riot Glass® are optically clear — they don’t change the appearance of windows or doors. Riot Ready specifically focuses on solutions that provide real security without making a school feel closed off, fortified, or unwelcoming. The aesthetic of the school is preserved completely.
Cost depends on the number of openings, protection level, and product specification. Security film is the most affordable option. Riot Glass® forced-entry systems are more expensive but significantly stronger. Contact us for a free facility assessment and phased pricing specific to your school.
