We participated in the ISC East Show last week in NYC, showing our brand new, patent pending bullet resistant fence. This cutting edge product received awesome feedback from security professionals seeking a better protection from mass shootings.

This bullet resistant fence represented 6 rounds of testing over the past 6 months. We had tested a multitude of testings for the core, different alloys of metal, granular composites, laminate composites, plastics, fibers lexan rubber, wood and poly carbonate were tested. The goal was the most cost effective materiel that could arrest and absorb the energy of a high velocity bullet.

We tested 13 different guns and ammo combinations, 22, 9mm, .357, .44, 30-30, 30-06, AR-15, AK47, shotgun slug and buckshot, and even a .50 caliber rifle to find the best material to stop bullets from a wide range of guns.

The ISC East show brought together the latest products and services for the security industry. Over 200 exhibitors displayed the latest in cameras, detection, crash and bullet resistance. Definitely the most discussed topic was active shooter threats, prevention and response.

Our booth garnered awesome responses with the life size shooter silhouette with spent casings laying at his feet. The bullet resistant wall had over 40 rounds of ammo fired into it. All the bullet holes were visible from the front and no holes were visible from the back, creating quite an impressive scenario fro security professionals to “oooooh” and “aaaaahhhh” over. Actual size bullets were depicted on crime-scene-like placards for attendees to see the actual bullet that had been shot.

All in all, our bullet resistant fence was a huge hit, filling a market void in the security professionals needs. We look forward to working with security professionals to install this revolutionary design on select properties to provide safety, privacy and protection for people gathered behind this special fence.

Mr. Amos Glick and staff at Compass Ironworks built and provided me with a customized automatic gate. From the very beginning of the project, they were passionate and attentive to my family’s special needs. Their skill and care in every detail of the gate, size, style, material and color, matching our landscape, was well thought out and well crafted. They were able to also give the exact various automation modes my family had requested.
 
I am very much satisfied with the superb work done and would recommend Compass Ironworks whole heartily to anyone seeking personalized care and excellent workmanship.

We had a railing, designed, created, and installed by Compass Ironworks. Amos and Aaron were extremely professional. They kept us informed of how things were progressing. We even visited the shop when the railing was almost complete. We HIGHLY recommend Compass Ironworks! We have had several people knock on our door to ask about who made our beautiful railing. Thank you for your hard work!

I have been meaning to call you about all the wonderful details of our railing. First of all, it’s beautiful. It is made exactly like we wanted, and it is sturdy just the way we wanted. Ben, Alvin, and John were right on the ball. They knew what they were doing. They were in and out of there, but still took the time necessary to do what they needed to do. And it looks beautiful! My wife came home and she had tears in her eyes and she was all tickled, and that was wonderful. We’re going to recommend you to all our friends, family, and neighbors. We’ll definitely give you a call. Feel free to use me as a reference. I will recommend you to anyone I know or meet. Thank you, Sir and have a good day.
