Military-grade doors & glazing for San Diego.

South Coast is San Diego’s trusted installer of high-security door and glazing systems for military bases, federal buildings, and intelligence facilities — SCIF assemblies, blast-resistant glazing, and rated hollow metal, all to DoD and GSA spec, by background-cleared crews.

Cleared for the work

Three secure systems. One cleared installer.

Federal and military work runs on compliance and clearance. We install SCIF door systems, blast-resistant glazing, and rated hollow metal doors — to ICD/ICS 705, DoD ATFP, and GSA criteria — with background-cleared crews who understand base access, chain-of-custody, and the tempo of federal PMs and contracting officers.

Choose your system

The right system for the threat.

Each system answers a different security requirement — from classified work to blast protection to rated openings. We match the assembly to the spec and the clearance to the site.

FAQ

Common questions on federal & military work.

Quick answers for contracting officers, federal PMs, and GCs — anything else, we’ll cover at the site walk.

Are your crews cleared for secure base access?
Yes. We staff background-cleared installers with documented secure-access experience at San Diego-area installations including Camp Pendleton, 32nd Street Naval Station, and NAS North Island. We coordinate base access and visitor management with your security office.
Which standards do you build to?
We work directly to federal spec — ICD/ICS 705 for SCIF, UFC 4-010-01 and ISC criteria for blast and physical security, GSA PBS P100, and UFC/ASTM/NFPA for rated hollow metal. No interpretation gaps, no rework cycles.
Can you install turnkey SCIF door systems?
Yes. We install complete SCIF door assemblies (Doors in a Box / Lockmasters) engineered for ICD/ICS 705 — RF shielding, sound attenuation, and high-security locking — and coordinate with access control and accreditation requirements.
What blast ratings can you provide?
We install DoD- and GSA-compliant blast- and impact-rated systems from Arcadia, EFCO, and Kawneer, set per UFC 4-010-01 and ISC Physical Security Criteria, with laminated and forced-entry-resistant glazing options.
Do you handle secure jobsite and chain-of-custody requirements?
Yes. We manage controlled material storage, chain-of-custody documentation, and classified-handling protocols on site, and coordinate with base engineers, federal PMs, and contracting officers throughout.
Can you combine SCIF, blast, and hollow metal on one project?
That’s typical. A single secure facility often pairs blast glazing at the facade, SCIF doors at classified rooms, and hollow metal back-of-house. Running all three through one cleared installer keeps coordination and accountability simple.
How do we start a federal or military project?
Send the drawings or schedule a secure site walk. We’ll review the spec, confirm clearance and compliance fit, validate lead times, and turn around an accountable bid.
