The verdict
Prestige Security Doors leads 40 to 30, and the gap is mostly one thing: independent testing, where it takes 0 of 25 against 21.
Atlas Armor is not beaten everywhere. It is ahead on independent testing — if that is what you are buying on, buy on it rather than on the total.
Both scores measure what each maker publishes, not laboratory strength. A system that declines to state its alloy or its price scores badly here by design, and may still be excellent steel. The installer who measures and fastens it matters at least as much as either badge.
