◼ Are NIGHTLOCK Lockdowns easy to install?
Yes, Typical installation takes 20-30 minutes. The door screws are actually Binding Post- Architect bolts. They go all the way through the door and bolt into a tamper resistant, rounded head binding unit. They are adjustable to fit 1-½” to 2” thick doors. The floor plate screws are 2” long and come with cement anchors for installing on tile, carpet or cement floors. Cutting a small piece of the carpet out might be necessary before drilling floor plate anchors. All fastening hardware is included. CLICK for detailed instructions. We do offer installation service.

◼ Is this accepted by Local or State Fire Codes?
Some State Fire Marshall’s approve devices like Nightlock Lockdown. Most lockdown policy procedures for classrooms include “Barricading the classroom door,” with items such as desks or furniture. Many Fire Code Officials are now applying a variance in the codes to allow temporary Barricade devices for emergency events. The variances include that they are portable/removable, have a tool to release the device and/or be defeated by Law Enforcement or First Responders. As codes are constantly being updated and changed, we suggest working with local police and fire department. If further questions or concerns should arise, contact NIGHTLOCK at sales@nightlock.com
