Solving the Unmonitored Door Problem
The Entry Shield® Door Monitoring System (DMS) was created to solve one of the most persistent and overlooked security gaps in schools and facilities: unmonitored doors. While main entrances often receive the most attention, unsecured classroom doors, side doors, and secondary access points remain a leading vulnerability.
DMS provides real-time awareness of door status—locked, unlocked, open, or closed—across a single building or an entire district. Instead of relying on physical door checks, magnets, or manual audits, administrators and security teams gain immediate visibility through the Entry Shield platform. This allows issues to be identified and corrected before they become incidents, not after.
Designed for daily operations, DMS integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without disrupting staff or instruction. Alerts can be configured based on time of day, schedules, or specific doors, ensuring the right people receive the right information at the right time. Whether monitoring classroom doors, exterior access points, or restricted areas, DMS transforms door security from a reactive task into a proactive, data-driven system—helping organizations maintain compliance, improve response times, and create safer environments without increasing labor.
