42 2020 Massachusetts Manufacturing Awards O ne day, shortly after the tragedy in Parkland, Florida, Amy Emma, an Elementary School Principal decided there needed to be a better way to barricade her doors in a lockdown emergency. She and her husband Sal brought together a team of talented engineers, law enforcement professionals, fire prevention experts and building code gurus with the goal of creating a budget-friendly, fast and effective door lock. The result is TeacherLock! The patent-pending product is fast, simple, safe and effective. The TeacherLock and SaberLock brands of lockdown devices have quickly become the "Gold Standard" in the industry. Since then, many schools and districts across the country have made the right choice in avoiding barricade systems that are slow and violate building code and life safety regulations. TeacherLock is a family-owned business that has the capability to serve the largest districts in the country. Made in the USA, it is important to keep students as safe as possible, whenever a crisis occurs. Their mission is simple, to save lives by affording the precious time needed for law enforcement to arrive.
