Any lockdown device you choose should be Bullyproof! There are over 850,000 incidents of violence in classrooms in the US each year. 40% of Teachers are reporting an increase of violence against them. Security experts agree that only authorized persons should be able to lock down a classroom. A person looking to do harm cannot barricade a door with TeacherLock installed.
School officials should avoid devices which allow anyone to lock a door.
“I applaud and admire the work that TeacherLock offers to the consumer as it is my belief that it represents the gold standard within the industry.”
— Dr. Joseph Erardi - Superintendent, Newtown Connecticut (retired)
“I would recommend TeacherLock to any district looking for a product that provides teachers the ability to expeditiously engage a lock, yet allows Law Enforcement to disengage the lock without breaching a door”
— Mike Matranga, Executive Director of Security and School Safety, Texas City Independent School District
As a former US Secret Service Special Agent, Mr. Matranga and his team have built what is regarded as the most comprehensive and advanced school safety environment in the nation.

Works under Stress.
When your heart rate increases, you lose fine motor skills. The simple job of finding, orienting, and locking using a key becomes impossible under stress. The TeacherLock Activator is tactile in design and is naturally oriented in the correctly clocked position whether left or right handed. When seconds count, we are faster than any key.
Code Compliant*
TeacherLock is designed as a specialized lock for use in lockdown emergencies. TeacherLock is instinctive and fast to exit. No prior knowledge or training is necessary to exit the room in an emergency. Teacherlock may be configured for a single operation to unlatch/unlock a door, making it a single motion to exit the room. TeacherLock fully complies with the International Building Code, NFPA 101, and NFPA 80. All versions of TeacherLock are UL10B, UL10C, NFPA252, and CAN/ULC S104 Listed and Labeled.
*Always check with your authority having jurisdiction for compliance in your area.
