Securing Classroom Doors: The First and Last Line of Defense

Classroom door security is a vital safety measure that plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of students and teachers in schools. With the increasing concern for school safety, it is essential to prioritize the security of classroom doors as a preventive measure against potential threats.

This means that any classroom door solution must deny access by addressing these three basic requirements:

  1. No Barricades: Eliminate the use of noncompliant door barricades and solutions that create greater risk than any security they provide.
  2. Keep Doors Closed: Eliminate the possibility that a door intended to be closed and locked can be intentionally or unintentionally entered. No security or lockdown solution will work unless the door is closed.
  3. Defend Any Door: Provide the flexibility with budget and components to adapt to the specific needs of any classroom situation.

By prioritizing classroom door security, schools can create a safer learning environment for students and teachers alike.
