My office does lunch n learns every Wednesday. Basically, it is product reps giving a free lunch with a presentation to convince us to use their product in our next building. This week’s was Won Door. They have come up with a possible solution to school security. It is a shutter that when activated closes and locks to lock off areas. Most buildings have these anyway in case of fire (they are called fire shutters.) it is an interesting idea. While it is not perfect, it can be a solution. We did point out that this could in turn make a kill zone and trap potential victims with the killer, but it is at least going in the right direction. It definitely could help reduce loss of life. Utah is currently trying to get it put into the building code to make it mandatory in all schools. It is a much better alternative than any ideas I have heard. Here is a link: http://wondoor.com/steelcurtain-type/ My office does a lot of K-12 schools and higher ed and government buildings. I think it is a good idea that needs a little work, One the steel curtain is not bullet proof (they are working on it) and two the accidental trapping of potential victims.
What do you guys think?
