      How PDQ Helped Hannibal School District Upgrade Classroom Lockdown Security

      Hannibal School District's classrooms were running standard locksets, hardware that gave teachers no fast way to confirm a door was actually locked from inside the room during a lockdown. Working with longtime PDQ distributor Doors N More, the district looked for something beyond a traditional lockset for its classrooms. The result: PDQ's GT135 LED Classroom Intruder Lockset, which lets a teacher confirm a locked door with a glance at a red LED indicator with directional arrows on the lock guiding a fast turn of the key when seconds matter.

      About the property

      Hannibal School District #60 serves roughly 3,300 students across nine schools: six elementary, one middle, and two high schools, in Hannibal, Missouri, the hometown of Mark Twain. 

       

      The Challenge

       School safety is at the front of everyone's mind, how can we better secure our classrooms to protect our children and teachers? With a standard lockset, confirming a locked door meant opening it or stepping into the hallway to check. That is exactly the kind of delay a classroom can't afford in a real lockdown situation. 

       

      The Solution

      Working with distributor Doors N More, PDQ's GT135 LED Classroom Intruder Lockset was specified across all nine schools in the school district:

      Cylindrical Lock · Grade 1, Classroom Intruder

      GT135 Series

      PDQ's patented GT135 LED Classroom Intruder Lockset is built on the Grade 1 XGT/GT cylindrical lock chassis, with a red LED indicator that confirms the lever is locked from inside the classroom and directional arrows on the lock face showing which way to turn the key for a fast, panic-proof lock .

      Hannibal School District replaced standard classroom locksets with PDQ's GT135 LED, giving teachers a way to confirm a locked door from inside the room without opening it.
