Helping you create a safer education setting

How do you let students get on with being students, but make sure they’re learning in a safe, secure environment? We’ve put generations of security expertise into reimagining how students move through their world – from custom-made mobile apps to wireless locks and automated doors.

Learning that opens doors for all

Schools and universities help students unlock their full potential – so  access the latest technology to create safe, open learning spaces for all. Want to make sure everyone is where they’re supposed to be? Personalized credentials for students and staff give access to the right place at the right time. So young learners can get into the library out of school hours, but not the science lab. While only the people you’ve approved can see personal data or borrow valuable equipment.

That commitment to quality makes us best-in-class in everything we do. Looking for the widest range of mechanical locks? We can help. Prefer digital to physical? Use a phone app instead, connecting them to services like paying for printing as well.

We also know it’s never been more important to keep on top of health and safety. Automatic doors aren’t touched by hundreds of hands – keeping germs at arm’s length. And our access solutions always comply with fire standards and accessibility guidelines to keep all students moving safely. 

A centrally-controlled key card system makes sure everyone can get to the lecture halls, labs and dorms they should – but none of the offices they shouldn’t.

Solutions in Education

  • Perimeter and grounds security

    The first line of safety for a school or education facility is the physical barrier that controls, and limits, access to school grounds. This can include fencing, gates and security cameras. Ideally, entrances should allow all visitor access to be monitored and controlled. However, safety requirements may call for many emergency exits to the building to allow rapid evacuation.

  • Main entrances

    The main entrance may include a physical access component through an automated door opening such as an automatic sliding, revolving or swinging door and electronic access control systems.

  • Administrative areas

    Essential to maintaining everyday operations, administrative environments such as offices and storage facilities require specialized products such as master key systems and logical access solutions. 

  • Classroooms and auditoriums

    Certain rooms, such as laboratories, computer rooms and secure storerooms may need a much higher level of security, provided by logical access or identification solutions to allow access to workstations.

  • Dormitory and campus

    To ensure a safe and convenient environment, physical access to dorm rooms, contactless solutions, identification solutions to allow access to libraries, labs or laundry facilities.

  • Cashless transactions

    Student IDs, such as campus cards based on secure contactless smart card technology, can be streamlined to perform multiple functions on one secure card. These can include cashless transactions for food service, vending machines and laundry, debit card transactions in partnership with financial institutions, identification to give access to libraries and labs.

  • Emergency exits

    An emergency exit or panic exit device must allow fast and efficient evacuation during emergency circumstances, and but still remain an important part of the building’s primary security by restricting access or ensuring entry at all other times. Intelligent panic exits and devices, for example, protect people and property during emergencies and at all other times.
