A new electronic lock system keeps this Miami-Dade public charter school safe and secure 24/7 while eliminating the costs associated with re-keying.
LOS ANGELES
Electronic standalone locks get high marks on healthcare and educational campuses, providing a level of security traditionally found in hardwired or networked solutions but without the associated costs.
Many hospitals, schools and universities have adopted automated card access control. Still, there are a large number of physical keys in use, both from legacy systems and in new construction that are not a part of the electronic access control system but need to be managed.
One of the most basic and important functional protocols for academic environments is the lockdown, yet no one solution can meet the needs of every campus or district. There are some best practices, however, that can be followed so the appropriate procedures and policies are implemented.
Schools have been using lockdown protocols with success for the past 30 to 40 years. Acts of workplace violence, emergency room shootings, K-12 and higher education shooting rampages demonstrate the need for our campuses to have this lifesaving capability.
