PART 2    PRODUCTS
2.1	MANUFACTURERS
A.	Acceptable Manufacturer: Riot Glass, which is located at:<BR />17941 Brookshire Ln.<BR />Huntington Beach, CA 92647<BR />Toll Free Tel: 800-580-2303<BR />Email: request info (info@riotglass.com);Web: https://www.riotglass.com 
B.	Substitutions: Not permitted.
C.	Requests for substitutions will be considered in accordance with provisions of Section 01 60 00 - Product Requirements.
D.	Also ideal for retail smash and grab burglary protection, this nonballistic (containment grade) glazing shield product allows bullet penetration but won't break down or appreciably diminish in strength. Although a glazing shield does not stop bullets, it resists cracking or shattering. Even after being riddled with bullets, it remains a barrier to entry because it cannot be easily dislodged and a would-be intruder's hand is prevented from passing through to open the door, keeping intruders out of the building.
