This unique, patented¹ safety system incorporates the ASTM certified door of the client's choice in a frame that allows a trained officer access within fifteen seconds. The unit incorporates approved security locks and hinges as favored by the client and architect. The door is of hollow metal construction, but a hardwood door can be used for use in a government or corporate environment. The unit can incorporate electronic locks.

The Quick Release Security Door cannot be barricaded. In the event of materials or other obstructions being placed against the door it can still be accessed in seconds. This is also applicable if the the lock is jammed or immobilized. This property makes it ideal for use in jails, corrections, law enforcement, psychiatric hospitals, government buildings, embassies and office complexes. Executives and government personnel cannot be entombed or held hostage behind the door.

Emergency Response Teams (ERTs) can access an area faster, safer and without force. Oxyacetylene or power tools are not required. No-go areas are consigned to history with the use of the "Smart Door".

The Vandal Proof Sprinkler Head System

This is a unique, patented sprinkler system custom built to the client's requirements. The head is multidirectional and can vary the intensity of its spray towards areas of greatest vulnerability.

• It is used in a "dry" system, activated by a solenoid connected to smoke or heat sensors
• It can be dry tested while the room is occupied
• The system is vandal-proof and resistant to interference by inmates and the public, making it suitable for correctional institutions, public buildings and office complexes
• In the corrections environment chemical agent dispensers can be incorporated to stop disturbances and restore control to officers
• Heads can be activated independently to decontaminate a derelict prison cell, or one soiled by an inmate
• The heads can be ceiling or wall mounted
• The system is completely adjustable, but is usually factory preset
• The units are maintenance free, with full installation, calibration assembly/ disassembly instructions provided.
• The system can be used externally to disrupt vagrant occupation

Non-Vision Security Grilles

• Non-vision security grilles designed specifically for corrections/law enforcement and public buildings
• Constructed of mild steel and are fabricated to ensure non-vision capability
• Of interest is the reduction of opportunity to attach ligatures
• Options include interference sensors and internal or external fittings
• The units come with or without plenum, dampers, smoke and heat sensors
