• a door slab formed of reaction injected molded aliphatic polyurethane having an outward face, and inward face, and a peripheral edge, with a window opening formed therethrough, the outer edge of the inward face forming a flat surface for engaging a seal of a door jamb which extends about the entire periphery of the door slab;
• a ballistic glass-clad polycarbonate laminate window sized larger than the window opening, laminate window having a central light transmissive region and an outer boarder region, the laminate window is formed of an outward facing heat strengthened glass sheet, alternating polyurethane and polycarbonate interlayers a second heat strengthened glass sheet, a PBV layer and an inwardly facing spall shield;
• and
• a primer applied to the outer boarder region of outward and inward faces of the laminate window;
• wherein the door slab is reaction injected molded about the laminate window with the outer boarder region extends into and is bonded to a portion of the door slab which extends about the window opening a distance of 1.0-2.5 inches.
