Protecting Students. Empowering Educators.
Schools face real security challenges—from morning arrival to after-hours events. Entry Shield was built specifically for K-12 environments, delivering real-time visibility, door monitoring, and rapid response across your entire campus—not just the front entrance.
K-12 School Security
Students per hour throughput
The Reality Schools Face
Schools must balance security with maintaining a welcoming learning environment. Traditional approaches create bottlenecks and fail to address insider threats.
Insider Threats
Of school shooters are current or former students who know the building.
Morning Rush
A short window where hundreds of students must enter quickly and safely.
Access Points
Multiple doors across campus create visibility & access challenges throughout the day.
Budget & Staff Constraints
Schools must improve safety within tight budgets and limited personnel.
A Multifaceted Approach
School security isn't one solution—it's a comprehensive strategy. Entry Shield provides layered protection that addresses every vulnerability.
Layer 1: Detection
Screen & Flow weapons detection at main entrances.
Layer 2: Access
Door monitoring on all secondary access points.
Layer 3: Barriers
Window laminate to delay forced entry.
Layer 4: Response
Instant notification to entire security team.
Solutions Designed for Schools
Every Entry Shield product is designed with the K-12 environment in mind.
Screen & Flow Weapons Detection
Most schools focus screening during a short morning window—typically 7:30–8:00 AM—then shut systems down for the rest of the day. Security shouldn't stop after the first bell.
That leaves gaps. Visitors, parents, and late-arriving students often enter without screening. Entry Shield enables all-day screening, providing continuous coverage without slowing traffic or requiring additional staff.
- Screen 3,600+ individuals per hour without bottlenecks
- No stopping, unpacking, or removing personal items
- Continuous, all-day screening capability
- Instant alerts to staff if a threat is detected
All-Day Arrival Flow
Morning Arrival (7:30–8:00 AM)
High-throughput screening during peak entry
Mid-Day Activity
Visitors, parents, and late arrivals continue to be screened
After Hours & Events
Maintain screening during activities and extended use
Common School Vulnerabilities
- • Emergency exits propped for student pickup
- • Staff doors propped for deliveries
- • Portable classroom external doors
- • Gym and cafeteria external access
- • After-hours event access
All monitored with instant photo alerts.
Door Monitoring System
Schools require doors to remain shut and locked during instructional time—but there's often no way to verify or enforce it in real time.
Entry Shield monitors both exterior and interior doors, sending instant alerts—with image or video context—when doors are propped, opened, or out of compliance.
- Monitor exterior and interior doors in real time
- Instant alerts with image or video verification
- Ensure compliance during instructional time
- Wireless deployment with no construction required
Window Laminate Protection
When an intruder can't get through the door, windows become the target. Our multi-layered laminate creates an impenetrable barrier that buys time for lockdown and response.
- Proven forced-entry protection
- 10-year warranty
- 2-year price lock for grant timing
- Additional UV and energy benefits
Priority Areas for Laminate
