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.
