Shatterproof glass, steel screens, armored doors, fog systems, and crash-rated bollards — supplied, manufactured, and installed for Vancouver businesses and homes.
Request a Free Security AssessmentProGuard Security Products protects Vancouver and Lower Mainland businesses with shatterproof RockGlass, RockScreen woven-steel screens, armored doors, and SmokeCloak fog systems — from Robson and Main Street storefronts to Richmond, Burnaby, and Surrey retail. Our retrofit panels harden existing windows without shutters, bars, or plywood.
Vancouver storefronts live with some of the most persistent glass damage in the country — repeat window smashing, break-and-enters, and vandalism that has pushed many blocks toward boarded-up frontage. Municipalities across the Lower Mainland, from Richmond to Surrey, report the same cycle of storefront robberies and repair costs.
Roll shutters solve the break-in and create a new problem: a fortress look that hurts the street and, in some areas, isn't permitted. ProGuard's approach keeps the glass look — clear, shatterproof panels retrofitted over existing windows, backed by steel screens and fog where inventory justifies it — so your storefront stays inviting by day and impenetrable by night.
Local coverage of break-ins, robberies, and storefront crime near Vancouver — the kinds of incidents ProGuard's layered protection is built to stop.

The same protection we install on Vancouver storefronts works on Vancouver homes — without bars, film, or a fortress look.
Lower Mainland homeowners deal with some of the highest residential break-and-enter pressure in the country — ground-level condos and townhomes in Vancouver proper, detached homes in Burnaby, Richmond, and Surrey with exposed rear patio doors, and laneway-facing windows everywhere. Bars and grilles clash with the West Coast look, so our approach is invisible: clear shatterproof panels retrofitted over existing glass, fine stainless-steel security screens that read as ordinary insect screens, and security screen doors that let you keep doors open through the mild seasons without an open invitation.
