  • Openpath’s state-of-the-art Lockdown capabilities are built into its access control system for religious institutions, which help ensure a building’s safety almost instantaneously with a phone, card, or via the online portal

  • Ability to activate Openpath Lockdown plans automatically via integrations with panic buttons, gunshot detectors, and more for added peace of mind

Lockdown procedure best practices

  • Create unique plans for different scenarios

    Openpath Flexible Lockdown lets you create unlimited secure Lockdown plans to address various scenarios. For example, a plan for suspicious packages will lock down entries near delivery areas, whereas an active shooter safety plan will trigger a sitewide lockdown.

  • Use a wired button to trigger lockdown

    Openpath’s door Lockdown system lets you choose from several trigger options: mobile app, tablet, laptop, key card, and IoT buttons. We highly recommend having a wired method in place as backup. Wiring an emergency button directly to the Smart Hub ensures you have a reliable trigger regardless of Internet connection or BLE signal strength.

Emergency safety and security best practices

  • Use backup batteries and cellular routers

    In an emergency, your access control and lockdown door system hardware need to remain online and responsive even through a power or Internet outage. Install sufficient backup batteries in your Smart Hubs, and consider installing cellular routers to ensure Internet uptime.

  • Fail secure locks and fire code requirements

    For the safety of students, tenants, and employees, use fail secure door locks, which lock when power is interrupted, but still allow free egress (required by fire codes and accessibility compliance). In the event of a power outage, intruders can’t get inside, but those inside the building can safely exit.

  • Additional security measures

    Depending on your requirements, you may need to prohibit certain items, use metal detectors, and display security system stickers in windows or other public facing areas.
