Lockdown response for educational facilities
Seconds matter. Secure the door
with the floor.
Ground Force® makes non-mechanical, floor-anchored barricade devices that allow a teacher to lock down a classroom door in one simple motion — no keys, no wiring, no screws, no dependence on the door or frame.
A normal class period can turn into a crisis in seconds.
Standard classroom doors rely on a lock and screws that can weaken the frame and the door. This type of hardware and others, can be easily compromised with a crow bar, gunfire or a simple credit card.
A typical classroom.
The only thing preventing unwanted ingress is a Ground Force® barricade.
A simple motion. Secures the door.
A teacher engages the Ground Force® unit — no key, no code, no wiring. The teacher inserts the stem into the drilled hole in the floor.
Non-mechanical. Floor-anchored. One simple action to activate.
Ground Force® devices don't replace your existing lock — they back it up with the strength of the building itself.
A simple motion
Any teacher or staff member can engage the device in seconds, without a key, badge, or code — even under stressful conditions.
Anchors to the floor
Force is transferred into the floor slab rather than relying on screws in the door and frame — the part most easily compromised.
No power, no batteries
Fully manual and non-electrical. Fully functional during power outages.
Nothing added to the frame
Installation doesn't rely on screws in the door and frame, which keeps their structural integrity intact.
Backs up digital access
Serves as a low-tech fail-safe for buildings that rely on key-card or badge access, which can be compromised or fail.
Fire-code compliant
Designed with rapid-release operation in mind, so a secured room can still be opened quickly from the ingress side when needed.
A model for every door in your building.
Ground Force® manufactures its own hardware, which means classrooms, offices, and gymnasium doors that are of a non standard configuration can be custom-fabricated.
Full Force™
The standard unit for administrative doors.
X Force™
Built for outward-swinging classroom doors.
Task Force™
Sized for inward-swinging double doors — common in cafeterias, gyms, and auditoriums.
Uni-Force™
A comprehensive design engineered to accommodate the full range of door configurations on one campus.
ISD* Unit™
An information-signaling device that links a locked-down room to emergency responders.
Accessible Configurations
Modified releases for staff and students with mobility or dexterity limitations, engineered on request.
Ground Force® is the manufacturer of every unit it sells, so nonstandard doors can be measured and custom-fabricated.

Pair the barricade with a direct line to first responders.
The ISD Unit is built for simplicity over complexity — fewer components to fail under stress, and a direct signal path to emergency services when a room goes into lockdown.
- Signals emergency responders the moment a room is secured
- Minimal moving parts, designed to reduce points of failure
- Works alongside your existing PA and alert systems
Recognized by the people who respond first.
