K-12 School Security
Students per hour throughput
The Reality Schools Face
Schools must balance security with maintaining a welcoming learning environment. Traditional approaches create bottlenecks and fail to address insider threats.
Insider Threats
Of school shooters are current or former students who know the building.
Morning Rush
Most students arrive in a concentrated window before first bell.
Access Points
Typical school building has numerous doors that need monitoring.
Dedicated Budget
Many districts lack dedicated security funding.

School security isn't one solution—it's a comprehensive strategy. Entry Shield provides layered protection that addresses every vulnerability.
Layer 1: Detection
Screen & Flow weapons detection at main entrances.
Layer 2: Access
Door monitoring on all secondary access points.
Layer 3: Barriers
Window laminate to delay forced entry.
Layer 4: Response
Instant notification to entire security team.
Solutions Designed for Schools
Every Entry Shield product is designed with the K-12 environment in mind.

88% of school shooters are insiders who know where the back doors are. Our door monitoring system watches every secondary access point and sends instant photo alerts when doors are propped or forced.
- Wireless installation—no construction
- Photo of who propped the door
- Configurable schedules
- Battery powered for easy deployment
Window Laminate Protection
When an intruder can't get through the door, windows become the target. Our dual-sided laminate creates an impenetrable barrier that buys time for lockdown and response.
