What Is Target Hardening?

Target hardening is enhancing the security of a building or facility in order to protect against attacks by deterring and delaying attackers from penetrating your defenses.

The idea is to transform the structure to make it look more difficult or unattractive to target. When it comes down to it, there are no buildings that are entirely secure from attack, but there are ways to increase security once you understand how the process works.

Target Hardening Techniques

There are a number of effective target hardening measures that work to reduce crime prevention and make it harder for an intruder to gain access. A few target hardening techniques include:

• 1) Upgrading locks on doors, windows and external structures
•  
• 2) Using encrypted passwords on machines and software
•  
• 3) Jamming windows and doors with impenetrable devices
•  

Kontek's Approach

Our approach follows a structured, assessment-driven process designed to reduce risk without disrupting operations. Effective target hardening is not achieved through isolated upgrades. It requires a structured process that aligns threats, design, and deployment.

Retrofit Ballistic Glass & Framing Systems

We upgrade existing storefronts, transaction windows, and interior glazing with ballistic and forced-entry rated systems. Retrofit options minimize disruption while increasing protection. 

• No Full Demolition Required
  
• UL 752 Levels 1–8 available
  
• Ballistic, forced-entry, and blast mitigation options
• Multiple finishes, glass tints, and mullion styles
  
• Fast Turnaround

Ballistic Doors & Windows

Kontek specifies and installs ballistic and forced-entry rated door and window systems designed to protect vulnerable access points without disrupting operations or visibility

• Ballistic rated steel and aluminum doors
  
• Full slab and vision-lite door configurations
  
• Fixed and retrofit ballistic window systems
• Simple integration with access control, locking hardware, and facility layouts
