Locking a classroom door should not be more dangerous than the emergency lockdown situation itself.
Emergency lock down of a classroom during an emergency situation is an essential need due to recent school shootings. Positive Lock, Inc. introduces the TH(ELD) Security Door Lock to help with your emergency security needs. The TH(ELD) Security Door Lock is surface mounted, locks both sides of the door, meets all National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 2018 requirements (see blue box), and is extremely easy to operate. We are confident any child would be able to lock or unlock this secondary door lock if an emergency arose.
