Bullet proof doors?

[Priest]

I want to get bullet proof garage doors, how can I reinforce them to be bullet proof? I could just purchase a pre-bullet proofed one however if they are made

Bullet proofing is a complex subject, and from your question, I suspect you haven't done your homework. First, there's no such thing as "bullet proof" - everything will be penetrated by larger or enough bullets. Do you want to stop a .22? a .30-06? a .50? a .50 with mk.211 rounds? anti-tank APFSDS? how many shots does it need to withstand?

The cheapest way for a home user would be to go to the scrapyard and pick up a piece of 1" steel plate. Heavy as hell, but will stop most rounds legal in america. But you really need to ask yourself what your goal is...

Those pesky neighbors.
The plate will work, you just need a 500 hp motor to lift the door.
Mabey a local garage door co can help.
If you buy some used kevlar canoes and cut them up, that may work, I have no idea.

Move? What about when the door is open all day?fumes?hot? I have no idea.
