Classroom Security Solutions for K-12 Schools
Lockdown Sheltering response for educational facilitiesSeconds matter. Secure the door
with the floor.
Ground Force® provides classroom door security with 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.
Ground Force unit installed on a classroom door
A normal class period can turn into a crisis in seconds.
Traditional school door security often relies on locks and screws that can weaken the classroom door and frame. This type of hardware and others, can be easily compromised with a crow bar, gunfire or a simple credit card.
Standard classroom door, unsecured
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.
