Anubis Locks Ltd’s Post

Due to serious incidents in school in recent times, it is now common place for them to have a ‘lockdown’ policy in place to hopefully reduce the loss of life or injury to their students and staff. The fundamentals of any lockdown is to allow the doors to be locked internally in order to form a physical barrier to prevent entry and ‘buy time’ in the event of a terror attack or imminent threat without using a key. There is also a requirement a communication system to control the situation effectively in the event of a serious incident taking place. The master key systems we supply allow the students to lock any doors from the internal side without using a key, thus allowing a physical barrier to be formed without a key holder such as a teacher been gpresent, whilst at the same time, allow the teaching staff to enter the rooms with a key if they are locked out, even if the thumbturn is being held by using anti-barricade cylinders. It also means they can escape from a locked door to safety if th need arises. "Classroom" cylinders which once were an option to be supplied to schools are now longer fit for purpose in terms of a lockdown. They are currently fitted into many schools around the UK. The problem now is that type of cylinder does not allow the student to lock the doors from the inside – they can only unlock them. This is a problem when moving into a lockdown scenario. We ensure that our Master Key Suites going into schools meet every need required and focussing on fire, internal barricading, into classrooms, self harm and lockdowns. We configure the schools zones which gives control as necessary, and ensure the Master key Suites are on a restricted profile which aids in key control. We always design for expansion, so that if a school has a build added, we can place the new building onto the suite. If you want to know how our Master Key Suites can help you, and not just in the educational setting, drop us a line on enquiries@anubislocks.uk and we can advise accordingly to suit your needs.
