Enhancing School Safety with the Quick Lockdown Magnet

The Quick Lockdown Magnet is a simple yet highly effective tool that empowers teachers to quickly secure their classrooms during a lockdown. This magnet is designed to work with the automatic-locking doors commonly found in schools, providing a seamless way to manage classroom security.

 

During normal school hours, the magnet is placed over the lock plate of the classroom door, preventing the door from automatically locking when closed. This setup allows teachers and students to move freely in and out of the room without the inconvenience of unlocking the door each time.

In the event of a lockdown, the process is quick and straightforward:

  1. Remove the Magnet: The teacher swiftly removes the magnet from the lock plate.
  2. Position the Magnet: The magnet is then placed horizontally across the door frame.
  3. Close and Lock the Door: The teacher closes the door, which automatically locks, securing the classroom.

 

One end of the magnet remains visible from the outside, signaling the room's status to first responders. Communication during emergencies is critical. The Quick Lockdown Magnet is designed with this in mind, featuring a dual-sided color-coded and text-based system:

  • Green Side - "All Clear": This side indicates that the classroom is secure, and no assistance is needed.
  • Red Side - "Need Assistance": This side signals that the classroom requires help.

     

  • The combination of bright colors and clear text allows first responders to quickly assess and prioritize their actions, ensuring a swift and effective response to an emergency.

    The Quick Lockdown magnet is fully customizable.

    The Quick Lockdown Magnet is a vital tool for modern school safety protocols. Its simplicity, effectiveness, and ability to facilitate clear communication make it an indispensable asset for any educational institution.
