 Kestrel, LLC has taken the effectiveness of a ballistic fiberglass shield, and married it with the ability to be placed in every situation imaginable, without compromising decor or public perception.  The Sentry Frame uses a Level 2 ballistic fiberglass.  This material is capable of withstanding three bullets per square foot from a .357 Magnum, without breaching the material.  The Sentry Frame can be placed where a Police riot shield would look out of place and even concerning.   

The Sentry Picture Frame can be placed virtually anywhere.   Our standard frame design measures 12x18 inches, which is a standard picture size and can easily accommodate artwork or signage without custom printing.  The Sentry Picture Frame hangs just where any regular artwork would hang.  Keeping in mind its utility in the event of active shooter and violent encounters, hang them close to exists, or close to employee workstations.  They will never be out of place, and always ready to use in seconds.

The Sentry Picture frame includes the hanging hardware and carrying straps.  You add whatever artwork or signage you want.  We can also arrange for placement of artwork or signage during construction.  But don't worry, just like a regular frame, you can change the artwork as often as you like.  

Sentry Picture Frames are designed and sold for institutional and governmental applications.  If you would like to purchase Sentry Picture Frames for private use, please contact us for a consultation.
