Problem
In emergency situations such as active shooter events, traditional door-locking mechanisms can be difficult to engage quickly and reliably, leaving occupants vulnerable. Existing solutions may not be easily accessible or intuitive for all users, especially in high-stress scenarios. Furthermore, ensuring first responders can rapidly access secured rooms is often overlooked.
Solution
FlipLok provides a door-locking device designed for rapid deployment in emergency situations. The device allows occupants to quickly secure a room by simply flipping the lock into place, providing a physical barrier against unauthorized entry. FlipLok offers models for both inward- and outward-swinging doors and is constructed to be significantly stronger than a standard deadbolt. Select models include a proprietary unlocking mechanism, accessible to first responders and administrators, ensuring rapid entry when needed.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes schools, universities, commercial buildings, and residential homeowners seeking to enhance security measures and provide a rapid lockdown solution.
