Doors, Frames, and Gaps
Door assemblies form the primary physical perimeter of buildings and secured interior suites. The relationship between the door leaf, frame, and threshold dictates which non-destructive bypass vectors are physically viable.

Life safety codes require commercial building exits to permit unimpeded egress from the interior without requiring keys or specialized knowledge. This single-action egress principle creates inherent external manipulation attack surfaces.
Electronic access control (EAC) systems integrate electrified locking hardware, credential readers (RFID, biometric, keypad), and safety release sensors.
Physical security evaluations of sensitive data centers, financial institutions, and government facilities frequently encounter high-security safes, file cabinets, and modular vaults. Evaluating the defensive capability of a safe requires understanding the certified standards governing tool resistance, delay time, and structural construction.
