Important Factors for Schools to Consider
When considering security film solutions, schools must take several crucial factors into account to ensure comprehensive protection:
Single or Double-Pane Windows: Increasing Response Time
The type of window glass plays a significant role in response time. Single-pane glass is more vulnerable, and therefore, we recommend a double layer of security film for these windows. By fortifying the glass, schools can effectively increase response time and gain valuable moments for evacuation.
Side Doors and Points of Entry: Extending Security Measures
While main entrance doors are typically the primary focus, it is crucial to extend security measures to side doors, back doors, sidelights, and other points of entry. Intruders often exploit vulnerabilities in less-frequented areas, making it essential to fortify all potential access points.
Interior/Exterior Locking Doors: Enhancing Effectiveness
To enhance security measures, both sets of doors, including interior and exterior locking doors, should be coated with security film. This approach ensures comprehensive protection and is particularly important for schools with automatically locking mechanisms.
Protection for Front Desk: Facilitating Immediate Lockdown
The front desk area serves as a critical hub for school security. By prioritizing the protection of this area, schools can facilitate immediate activation of lockdown measures upon threat identification. Reinforcing the glass at the front desk provides an added layer of security for administrative staff.
