Places of worship want to project a welcoming atmosphere and openness to all of their congregants. However, given the rise of external safety incidents, organizations need the ability to swiftly counter a number of threats, while retaining an “open door” policy to the general public. Through Openpath’s state-of-the-art Lockdown capabilities, administrators can ensure a building’s safety almost instantaneously with a phone, card, or via the online portal, allowing them the flexibility to maintain an inviting environment, but with the ability to activate their Lockdown plan with the push of a button for added peace of mind. Plus, third-party triggers such as gunshot and glass break detectors are supported, providing a robust out-of-the-box solution.

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.
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.
