How do you turn two problems into no problems? See how Blake's balanced fire safety with school security in a Felsted High School!
The problems...
The 450 year old school is spread over several acres in the village of Felsted, Essex. As part of an extension they needed an additional door.
But one door created two problems:
1. It needed to be locked for security purposes - to keep the children in and the bad guys out
2. BUT it needed to open easily in the case of a fire...
The One Stop Solution To School Security In Felsted
Our one-stop shop combined our knowledge of school security and fire safety. We extended the existing access control system and linked it into the school's fire alarm - the best of both worlds! By utilising the existing systems, disturbances and cost were kept to a minimum.
Our DBS-checked engineer completed the installation. A lock connected to a control box beside the door. This was then linked to the existing access control and fire alarm system so it would automatically unlock in an emergency.
Two problems solved!
Once everything was thoroughly tested, the engineer left the area clean, tidy and ready for use.
