Protecting Public Facilities More Effectively
How can people charged with protecting the public help counter violent situations in public facilities? One useful step involves initiating a rapid facility lockdown to prevent armed individuals from wandering freely through the premises and potentially acquiring more victims. A second important measure also helps save lives: rapidly summoning police and emergency first responders to the scene. The new BEST® SHELTER™ responsive wireless technology performs both functions seamlessly at the touch of a multi-purpose fob.A Detailed Description of This Locking Mechanism
Some Flexible Features
This powerful wireless technology contains several features offering flexibility in safeguarding a facility from armed attackers. Some of the measures that might prove most useful include: American Best Locksmith will work closely with individual facility administrators and team members during the process of installing this innovative new technology. We want to ensure that your organization fully understands the capabilities of this powerful new responsive wireless lockdown system.- The multipurpose fob will secure a single corridor or an entire building, providing flexibility in responding to the needs of innocent bystanders to escape from the premises;
- The system coordinates the action of locks and doorway levers, preventing unauthorized access from the outside during a lockdown;
- Visual indicators reveal when each lock enters or leaves lockdown mode, to alert responding officers to the status of a room quickly at a glance, without requiring verbal communication that might disclose the officer’s position to an intruder;
- Administrators can program the system to automatically summon police and emergency medical responders to the scene at the touch of a fob;
- The wireless system will furnish location information about specific locks under lockdown;
- Administrators gain access to software (based in a cloud system) enabling them to configure the technology easily from a computer screen, even if these individuals lack computer training;
- An option exists to include audible alarms as well as visual alarms when a lockdown occurs.
Widespread Utility
What types of buildings might benefit the most from embracing this flexible yet sophisticated system? Fortunately, both installation and maintenance prove surprisingly cost-effective. We anticipate that a large number of public institutions and private businesses will want to use the BEST® SHELTER™ technology soon. For example, the new system will potentially help save lives and prevent injuries in a wide array of settings. Some possible sites that may benefit from this technology include:- Public And Private Nursery Schools, Elementary Schools, Junior High Schools and High Schools;

Promoting Commercial Security
A Brighter Future
American Best Locksmith welcomes the development of the innovative BEST® SHELTER™ responsive wireless lockdown system as a way to help reduce or prevent the loss of life caused by active shooter episodes. We especially appreciate the reasonable costs associated with purchasing and deploying this technology. Just as RFD scanners and security cameras have become standard in most retail establishments today as a way of preventing thefts, the new smart locks will likely enhance the day to day security of many public venues in the near future.By embracing the potential of the Internet of Things to enhance the intelligence of locks and door levers, this remarkable wireless technology will greatly assist law enforcement agencies, first responders and facility administrators in enhancing the safety and well being of people in public buildings. The flexibility of the BEST® SHELTER™ system enables individual administrators to tailor options and features to meet the unique requirements of individual locations and populations.
Used in conjunction with an access control system, for instance, this technology may provide an exceptionally powerful tool for preventing unauthorized entry onto secure premises. Even without sophisticated commercial security, the use of smart locks will help prevent casualties during disruptive situations causing lockdowns and security responses. The cost-effectiveness of this technology promises to benefit a multitude of people in the very near future. We urge facility administrators and board members to implement the BEST® SHELTER™ responsive wireless lockdown system widely. Plan now to adopt effective active shooter safety precautionary measures.
