Understanding Lockdown: Key Terms• Local lockdown/Classroom Lockdown: Locks individual doors from inside

the classroom

• Global lockdown/Perimeter Lockout: Locks perimiter doors from a central location, typically through an access control system

• SRO: School resource officer, a sworn law enforcement officer who is responsible for providing security and crime prevention services in the school environment

• Run, Hide, Fight: A 3-step strategy for active shooter response, promoted by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security

• ALICE: Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, EvacuateA training institute dedicated to promoting proactive strategies to improve the chances of survival during an active shooter event

• Integrated threat level capable: EAC system controls who has access during an elevated threat level (ex: restricting access to only certain people, such as emergency first responders)

• State mandated requirements• Emergency plans

• Safety audits

• Reporting

Lockdown and School Security

• Practice, practice, practice (Plan, Prepare, Practice)• Lockdown and evacuation drills

• Identify gaps in procedures

• Ensure students, faculty and staff are prepared

• Should include all stakeholders, including:• First responders

• District transportation

• Supporting organizations such as Red Cross and local churches (nearby gathering places)

Page 7: Lockdown: When Seconds Count...Understanding Lockdown: Key Terms •Local lockdown/Classroom Lockdown: Locks individual doors from inside the classroom •Global lockdown/Perimeter

Lockdown vs. Evacuation • Important considerations

• Age/grade of the students• K-3 may be harder to gather and evacuate• 6-12 may be easier

• Special needs students and staff• Special education students • Handicap/ADA • Temporarily handicap (broken legs,

crutches, casts, vision impairments)

• Availability of a secondary exit• Presence of an armed SRO• School location (urban, suburban, rural)

The Role of Door Hardware in Lockdown Strategies

• Door locks and hardware protect the safety of students and faculty

• Depends on type of lockdown required for building

• NFPA and ADA requirements

• Solutions available to address application specific strategies

Carefully planned, application appropriate strategies are always the best solution

The Role of Doors and Framesin Lockdown Strategies

• Categorize Openings – Primary, Secondary, Tertiary

• Special K-12 door applications• Vestibules for entryway safety

• Security and privacy sidelights

• Security Film Doors and Sidelights

• Security-rated doors

• Storm-rated shelter openings

• STC-rated doors

• Proper operation of doors and frames • Prevent lockdown failure due

to secondary issues

Classroom Security

• Classroom should have locks that allow the teacher to lock the classroom from inside the room

• Locksets should have the ability to be opened from outside the classroom using a key, code or credential. This enables teachers, administrators and first responders to access the classroom but not an attacker

• Locks should comply with fire codes, life safety codes and Americans with Disabilities Act

Types of Locks

• Classroom locks• A classroom lock can be locked or

unlocked using a key in the outside lever, always allows free egress

• Storeroom locks• Always requires a key to retract the

latch and enter the room, always allow free egress

• Not typically used in the classroom environment

• Double cylinder deadbolt• Operated by a key from both sides of

the door• When locked, without a key free

egress is prohibited

Types of Locks

• Electromechanical locking• Can accommodate numerous scenarios

• Global lockdown

• Local lockdown

• Remote lock/unlock

• Threat level capable EAC integration

• Always allows free egress

• Door barricades• Numerous appliances on the market

• Accommodates local lockdown

• Prohibits free egress

Other Important Access Control Considerations

• Software complexity

• Host location

• Policies and procedures

• Operator commitment

• Options/modules

• Support

• Price/costs (who’s budget?)

• Access control door hardware

• Integration with other systems

• IT security

• High availability, system recovery, offline operation and return to operations
