A ballistic garage door assembly and a kit for converting a standard garage door includes metal shell panels formed from coil stock metal that uses sheets of ballistic material secured to each metal shell panel. Joint inserts applied to the horizontal ends of the garage door panels provide bullet resistant characteristics at the joints. Ballistic sheets of compressed multiple plies of ballistic material, hardened ballistic resin, or bullet resistant metal barriers, are applied to each garage door shell. Increased levels of ballistic protection will utilize thicker ballistic sheets and increased thickness of the walls of the joint inserts, and optionally an additional external ballistic bumper to increase ballistic performance of the joints between the garage door panels. The outward aesthetic appearance of the garage door does not change appreciably.
