Protecting Students One Door at a Time
The ONLY school emergency door lock which is building code friendly, ADA compliant, and built for life safety.
DESIGNED to Protect CHILDREN - PREFERRED BY TeACHERS, POLICE, FIRE, and BUILDING OFFICIALS
Bullyproof Design
TeacherLock(R) was designed from the start to keep control of the room in the hands of the teacher. While active shooter emergencies are rare and dangerous, a bully or worse who controls the door is equally as dangerous.
Emergency Responder Key
Our proprietary key is designed so that first responders can quickly open the door from the outside. Our key fits into a Knox Box and is easy and fast.
ADA Compliant
TeacherLock can be mounted at any height on the door, but to be ADA compliant, it must be between 34 and 48 inches from the floor. It can be opened without pinching, twisting or grasping.
No Fine Motor Skills Required
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.
Single Operation to Open the Door
For those jurisdictions which require a single operation to unlatch, the TeacherLock system provides this capability while the room is occupied. This makes it a single linear motion to push our egress button and exit the room. At night, or when the room is unoccupied, the door is closed and latched for fire safety.
Affordable and Installs in Six Minutes
TeacherLock is built from aircraft aluminum and stainless steel, and is made in the USA. Our device is less than the cost of replacing a door lock set. Using a simple drill, screwdriver, and our template, anyone can install our device quickly. Please check your local building ordinances. Some jurisdictions may require that your door be inspected.
Our Proprietary TeacherLock Activator
Fast under stress
Normal keys don't work in an active shooter incident. When an active shooter is in the hall and the gunfire is so loud that the concussive and deafening effect rattles windows and doors and shakes dust from the ceiling, a teacher will lose all fine motor skills. Tasks which seem simple will be nearly impossible. As a person's heart rate increases, it becomes more difficult to perform simple operations such as finding a key, inserting it into a keyhole, and securing a door.
Our tactical design uses simple biomechanics to orient the activator into the correct position to lock a door. Whether you are left or right handed, your thumb and index fingers will find "Home" on our key which makes it simple, fast, and easy. Muscle memory is the term used by law enforcement to train and act without having to think under stress. Our activator works without thinking and will lock a door in 3 seconds or less!
