Detex Lockdown System for Campus Emergencies

(New Braunfels, Texas)  Detex Corporation, recognized as an industry leader in the manufacture of high quality life safety and security hardware for commercial buildings, provides lockdown systems to protect educational facilities in crisis situations. The system delivers rapid control of entry doors and interior doors, so that intruders are denied access.

Auxiliary security equipment can include door prop alarms, vandal-resistant breakaway trims, door position switches, and the ProxiPen proximity-based system for guard tour verification.

Education facility managers can select the particular combination of components they require and know that they will integrate easily with each other and function well as a system.
