Lockdown Fast, Lockdown Tactically
Tactical Lockdown Mechanisms
Our devices are designed so that doors remain locked at all times while still permitting unfettered access during normal daily routines. The devices are removed in seconds during a lockdown to quickly secure the room.
Welcome
Low-Cost & DIY Friendly
You can't put a price on a human life and we won't either. We want to make these available to anybody that can benefit from them, with both ready-to-use and DIY options available. If you have a 3D printer, you can make these yourself. If your latches are a little different, you can tweak the design as needed with your software of choice.
Field Tested, Teacher Approved
Our first working set of devices has been in use for about 5 years now and still looks and functions like new. We keep a spare set on hand just in case, but it's only collecting dust. With each design for a particular latch style, we use feedback from the teachers that are using them to make any necessary improvements.
Highlights
Several solutions exist for a similar result, but only Tactical Lockdown Mechanisms (TLMs) provide all of the following features.
Device Highlights
Always Secure
Doors stay locked at all times, while the TLM allows for uninterrupted openings.
Durable
Unlike those thin and cheap magnet strips that curl at the corners over time, the TLM stays rigid for years.
Cost Effective
TLMs are a low-cost solution. Whether purchased from us or you make them yourself, our goal is to make these accessible to everyone.
Fast Removal
The TLM is quickly removed to secure a door in seconds.
Compatibility
Several TLM styles are currently available, with more on the way. Our building is almost 100 years old with several additions and a multitude of door styles. We know there is no one-size-fits-all. Read more
