@juliodavid492 жыл бұрын
I worked in a school district for 11 years and I was one of the locksmiths. Doors can not be locked manually from the inside. However all the inside doors were locked from the outside with a key. We had a magnetic strip that would keep the door from latching if the teacher wanted to do that between class changing. If there was a lockdown all the teacher had to do was remove the magnetic strip and close the door locked. Then all the students and teacher were to move to a corner of the classroom were they could not be seen or heard. All of the windows next to the doors were always covered completely. The outside doors were ALWAYS locked and they were checked by the school security regularly during the day. If any door in the district was not working properly It was always priority one to go and fix it, even if the superintendent needed something fixed. All of these safeties were implemented years ago when all of these mass shootings started happening. Safety can be accomplished if people set their minds to it, it is not that hard or impossible. No need to get rid of the back doors like some dumb senator from Texas suggested.

The locks on all the doors were always locked, the magnet just prevents the latch to go into the latch hole. Not sure what you mean by auto locking doors, but if it is an electronic system that has to be installed it sounds costly. There are a lot of poor districts in the US and that might not be affordable. The magnetic strip is pretty cheap and fast.

@@loublev5098 1) I don't teach in a unionized state. Many teachers work in states with little or no union representation. 2) Fire Marshall's see absolutely no problem with doors that don't lock. They don't consider shooting situations. A Fire Marshall is more likely to get after me for having window coverings. Typically school doors lock from the outside, so that a child cannot lock themselves in without a teacher. Doors are then kept locked at all times, with a magnet hold the door slightly adjacent. That is standard practice. Fire Marshalls like open doors. Many think that locked doors on exteriors are enough. 3) We've lost a lot of parent involvement since the pandemic. Many just got used to not coming in. I personally welcome parent involvement. Most of the CRT indoctrination and gender indoctrination lies might vanish, if parents could come in and see for themselves that we aren't teaching anything like that.

The worse place to be in case of a shooting would be the second floor since there’s no way of exiting the building unless you go out onto the hallway, run down the stairs and outside. You could also stay inside the classroom and wait till the windows get shot out and oh well rip. I find it so idiotic how a modern school was built so poorly in case of a shooting.

These are just classroom function locks and that's how they always have been, from back in the day before shooters were a thing. Modern classroom intruder function provides interior control of the locked or unlocked outside trim state. Storeroom function would also work but never allow an unlocked exterior. The exterior panic door in question just needs a nightlatch/storeroom function trim that remains locked after key entry and the door can only be held open by "dogging down" the pushbar from inside using a hex/Allen key. The glass is required by law to be a safety type, tempered or laminated with laminated being the better choice as tempered will blow up an go into a tiny pieces, but tempered is cheaper so that's likely what you get. Laminated will stay in place with much additional hacking required to clear the opening. I guarantee when new door hardware is approved the board will likely give the work to some outside vendor and beat the local locksmith who has probably been advocating for improvement all along out of the work. To my knowledge the government has never issued an SIC code for locksmiths to compete on these bids. Door hardware being considered "carpenter work", despite locksmithing being an ancient trade of more knowledgeable individuals. So when the carpenter's are done the story will now be that doors can just be credit carded open or levers tear off from them omitting the throughbolts intended to fasten them on well. Locksmiths are slighted by union and lobby interests and lack the backing to raise the capitol to be legitimately included in the build and renovations process. Locks seem to be carpenter work until the work gets tricky, such as full mortise installations and then the carpenter's come calling to sub us out for a door or two. That's just the American way, like it or not we are in a bad position to help schools out despite being the better choice.

It is a great metadata source (that means cross checking multiple data points and studies). Also why did I point out murders versus mass shooting. Because gun nuts are train to say 1 of 2 responses (Bad people will just find a another way or What about stabbing and people killed by knifes!?) Which is exactly you need to point out if bad people will "just find another way" That would mean all murder rates would be equal. And turns out they aren't meaning reduction of guns via gun control laws. Is effective at not only reduce mass shootings but effective on reducing over all murders as well. 5)"Why do anti-gun people always think about other men’s cocks when talking about guns?" Yes why? Because gun nuts constant believe they need a gun to "be a man to protect their family" The very fact they use to validate their "manhood' is why we see your fragile egos. Now comes you tepid deflections of never going to read the sources and Citations I gave but looking for excuses of why you don't like them.

As a teacher in Texas who has worked in lower income schools- those types of doors that only lock on the outside and do not have an ID badge scanner to get in are very common. We also had many classroom doors that would not lock so we had to learn how to place a student chair a certain way on the door handle for lockdown drills. Teachers tried to address it every year but it always led back to "we don't have the funds." Now, I work in a district that has more funding however, I have never seen a classroom door that is able to lock from the inside.

The problem is not the doors, or the classrooms, or how the windows are made of glass, or how teachers aren't trained to fight murderers, or how there are not trap doors or hidden rooms for safety. Schools aren't suppossed to be bullet-proof or made for war. Teachers aren't suppossed to be ninjas and students aren't suppossed to be cops. The bigger problem is having anyone own a gun, or any firearm. Or nor having people outside of schools, making sure noone unknown or with firearms enter. The problem could be the parents not knowing what their kids are up to because they're too busy in their own sht. Or it could be the media with all those movies with shootings, making people desensitized about murdering others or making it seem "cool" or "badass". The problem could be the entire government not caring about its people's sanity. The problem could be lots of things, but never the school's fkn doors.

My school and classroom had these same doors with locks on the outside. It's a fire code issue. Students need to be able to exit from inside quickly. Also, you don't want children to be able to lock a teacher/adult out of the classroom. That's a safety issue. We teachers were trained and drilled to keep doors locked at all times. My guess is that it was the last week of school, parents coming and going for awards ceremonies, class party supplies being brought in, so the door was unlocked for convenience by someone. So tragic and that person will never forgive themselves.

It’s not the teachers fault for going outside for a moment. Many people go out to their cars for a moment throughout the day, at school, work, or wherever. I can’t believe how many people point the finger at a single person without sufficient knowledge and witness of what happened at that moment. The door didn’t work properly when she came back in! You can’t blame this whole tragedy on someone you don’t know or didn’t witness the situation! I feel badly for her, for she’s been sentenced as guilty for this whole disaster. The shooter shot through windows too, so I guess the schools at fault for not having bullet-proof windows. How about blaming the teachers for not having guns themselves to protect themselves and the kids? There were other kids out at recess that he could’ve targeted, instead of the kids inside. I guess you’d blame the school for allowing recesses to be held. I blame the sale of the guns and ammo to an 18 year old!!

I work for a middle school, we have a door in the back of our library that anyone can leave unlocked like a deadbolt. Students are too lazy to go through the main entrance and leave the door unlocked for each other when leaving for class. They will even unlock it when they leave class for the bathroom. We can't see that door from the library desk, we don't know when people go in and out of that door let alone who. I have busted multiple kids who have snuck in through that door to ditch class. I've even caught students making out. There is only 1 security camera in the entire library and it can not see that door. I was at another school in another district for a job interview and I noticed that their library doors were the same as ours but their doors required a key to leave unlocked. I brought the idea and my safety concerns up to admin, they ignored me. I brought up the concerns to security and they told me that I should just talk to our school maintenance guy. He agreed with me 100% that it needed to happen but the district locksmiths said my suggestion was "unsafe" and "against fire code." Our school has a serious issue with short staff due to "budget cuts," kids not giving a sh*t, and parents actually telling kids we have no authority over them, that I am waiting for the day that door is used by a mass shooter.

The doors lock themselves and only teachers have access to the doors they need to open. For example, an English teacher has a key card that can only open doors in the English block. Why isn't this something that is introduced into the USA, it's not something that requires whole new doors. But instead something as simple as replacing the lock. I am obviously not blaming this shooting the fact that the doors have the wrong locks. As I think it's clear what the issue is and why so many shootings happen all across America and my heart goes out to all those families and everyone in America who are stuck in a nation that will not fix the gun law issues.

Panic hardware is not really designed to stop an attack in the way you describe. It's meant to secure a building when the business is closed, and it's meant to ensure escape during a fire. Locking from the inside is not a requirement for either one of these goals. This is the way panic hardware has been made for 60 years. Free, one motion egress (escape) is required at all times, you cannot be required to disengage any kind of thumb turn or latch from the inside, in the event of a burning building, full of smoke, people panic and rush for the doors, even the simplest obstacle to escape can, and has lead to mass death. There are many laymen making comments about things they don't understand. Door hardware is far more complex then you realize. Also, I think you are confused by the term "Lock from the outside" these doors are always free egress, you can always escape, lock from the outside means you can't freely enter. Your comparisons to residential hardware are completely irrelevant, commercial is a totally different application, with a different set of requirements, homes do not have to meet fire code, homes do not have 100+ people in them.

No so called “commander” or “chief” or bull shit title should over ride this type of summoning to immediate arms. Arrendondo set the stage to stifle this energy of heroics and anger, the hero and warrior complexes should have dominated and any person in charge should have driven this masculine warrior energy properly.

It’s not a fire hazard,( the door still opens freely, from the inside, even if locked from the inside, you can always escape, you only control exterior locking) it’s more a practical issue. It’s kind of a big ask to expect a manufactor like allegion, Jackson, assy abbloy or Sargent to design and sell a unicorn bespoke lock just for schools, made in small batches, when the tried and true standard panic device is good for all other commercial applications. As tall an order as it is though, they are working on it. We’ve never “needed” it before. Times are a changing. You’d need to put keyed locks on both sides of the door, only controlling the exterior handle, always allowing free egress via the push bar, it can be done, but it’s a big ask. Fire code won’t permit supplemental locks, you can only have one lock, and it must open with a single motion with no special skills or knowledge. There’s good cause for this, as in the previous 100 years or so you were far more likely to die in a fire then a school shooting.

This is what you get when you get committees, politicians and boards to design systems. Looking at the images being shown, all the doors would have failed their first safety test. Exterior push bar door locks are supposed to automatically lock when doors are sprung shut. Interior/ classroom doors could have borrowed from the humble toilet door lock- They lock from the inside. If and when glass/ viewing portals are fitted to doors they should not compromise the lock/ function of the door. That said, it shouldn’t draw attention away from the incompetence and very serious failures of the school safety officer(s) and law enforcement response. It is their failings and inactions on the scene that led to the high casualty numbers in the school. The buck stops with them. Looking at the investigation hearings, it is apparent the department of safety is mixing up the issues, non issues and potential issues into one pot. The investigation should into the school shooting should start from the moment the first shots we’re fired into the school- What happened? Issues about playing video games, dead cats in a bag, gun trigger adapter, high capacity magazines gun laws etc are only clouding the investigation.

It’s not that simple. Put a barricade latch on an interior classroom? What happened when a student locks the teacher out and beats a kid to death while everyone watches though the window? There is a reason things are as they are. Panic devices are designed for fire escape, they can be set up to an auto lock, known as “store room function trim” but most opt to have the ability to unlock the door, this leaves staff responsible, not door hardware. I do agree with almost everything you said though, particularly with the smoke screen those responsible are throwing up, this door non-issue is just another one

@@mikeweatherford5312 It’s not that simple true, but when the simple is overlooked for the complicated then problems arise inevitably. A door or lock that cannot be opened or locked clearly doesn’t fulfil it’s basic function. I give the example of the toilet door lock for its simplicity yet high effectiveness. As for a kid locking a teacher out of a classroom to beat another kid to death, I don’t know how many such incidents are on record but surely that kind of kid would have no problem beating another child to death in an unlocked classroom, a bathroom or the playground and shouldn’t be in that kind of environment in the first place. I fully agree with you that the door hardware cannot be seen to be responsible for the victims but rather the people involved. The issue is or should be the determined active shooter on the school premises and what was not done/ could have been done to minimise casualties.

There have been some tragic school fires in the past (in which many children died), and I think this door design was with that in mind - that is, easier access for firefighters to get in, in order to evacuate children & teachers from a room, or possibly to contain a fire to just one room (which was hopefully empty to begin with). To give an example, the Our Lady of Angels fire in Chicago, in which 90+ children and several teachers died. There were other problems with the particular school building(s) involved, mainly that there was no convenient way of escaping the school, and that the building wasn’t up to code standards/was quite a bit older. Please don’t assume a design is poor before learning why it was made that way in the first place - true, it may be for a somewhat “outdated” reason (although fires happen quite often, generally speaking, the design might not be with the most recent tragic incidents in mind, because I’m sure it takes several years to develop and adequately test a new door design, even BEFORE adopting it as the standard in a school), but still it is designed that way for a very valid reason. Arguably, an emergency situation that is more likely to occur.
@simonehawkins55202 жыл бұрын
I would also like to add this link. According to these regulations and guidelines, the teacher of a classroom must open the door, lock from outside, shut the door with him- or herself inside, in order for the door not to open from the point of view of anyone in the hallway. IF teachers do not generally keep these doors locked from the outside at all times (meaning anyone leaving to use the bathroom or get something from a locker would have to be let in, and couldn’t get back into the classroom on his or her own) then it is absolutely possible for anyone to enter the classroom. If schools, therefore, are too relaxed in this practice, and not always at the ready for such an unfortunate incident to occur, then here we have a major problem: it becomes dangerous to attempt to lock the previously unlocked door when it is known there is an active shooter situation, and takes extra time to do when really everyone should be hunkering down and also barricading the entry to a classroom - with desks, books, bookcases, chairs, anything. It is possible in this very sad case that the main teacher was attempting to lock the door from the outside before shutting it (which would have locked the entry to anyone coming from the hallway), and was unable to complete this task before the shooter was able to make his way into the joint classrooms. files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED508013.pdf

I’ll add that doors and door lock mechanism are actually quite durable to gunfire. The bullshit you see on tv of someone shooting a door lock and popping a door open easily is nonsensical. Shooting out a window and reaching in to disengage a panic device is more likely, but even that can be drastically slowed down with security glass aka “security lite kit” to actually shoot out a lock would require a ton of bullets and precise knowledge if were to shoot, spray and pray on a commercial metal door frame and panic device is not going to get it done.
