You’re responsible for hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives every day. When a threat appears on or near your campus, relying on a standard sounder to signal a lockdown is dangerous – it causes confusion and sends people outside to the exact wrong places.

You’re probably worried about meeting your duty of care requirements, and it’s stressful knowing your current emergency protocols might not hold up during a real intruder alert. You need a way to communicate instantly and clearly across your entire site without causing panic.

We provide custom dynamic lockdown alarms designed to separate fire evacuation from threat containment. Our systems broadcast clear, pre-recorded or live voice messages so everyone knows exactly what to do. We build everything to align with NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) dynamic lockdown guidance and help you prepare your facility for the requirements of Martyn’s Law.

Because we’re local to the Central Belt, our engineers are never far away. You get a robust installation that integrates perfectly with your existing Access Control Systems, giving you total lockdown capability when seconds count.

What is a Lockdown System?

A lockdown system is an integrated safety solution designed to quickly secure a building during an emergency. It enables organisations to restrict access, control movement, and communicate critical instructions instantly – helping protect occupants from potential threats.

When activated, a lockdown system can automatically secure doors, limit entry points, and send real-time alerts through public address systems, mobile notifications, email, or on-screen messages.

This coordinated responses helps ensure everyone inside the facility knows what to do and where to remain safe. Modern lockdown systems can integrate with access control, CCTV, alarm systems, and building management platforms to provide centralised control and visibility.

Whether used in schools, healthcare facilities, offices, or public venues, a lockdown system enhances preparedness, reduces response time, and strengthens overall safety.

Real Results for Local Schools

A large secondary school in Glasgow struggled with an outdated PA system that couldn’t effectively broadcast emergency alerts to their newer modular classrooms.

We installed a fully integrated, zoned intruder alert system linked directly to their reception and head teacher’s office.

Now, they can trigger a site-wide lockdown in under three seconds with clear voice instructions, ensuring the absolute safety of over 1,200 students and staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please GET IN TOUCH

What is the difference between a fire alarm and a lockdown alarm?

A fire alarm tells people to evacuate the building.

A lockdown alarm tells people to stay inside, lock doors, and hide. They must sound completely different so nobody gets confused during an emergency.

Are dynamic lockdown alarms a legal requirement for schools?

While not strictly law yet, governing bodies like Education Scotland and upcoming legislation like Martyn’s Law strongly advise having robust emergency lockdown procedures to protect students and staff from external threats.

Can you link the lockdown system to our CCTV?

Yes, we frequently integrate them. Triggering an alert can automatically bring up critical camera feeds for your security team or reception staff so you can monitor the situation safely.

How long does it take to install?

For a standard primary school, it usually takes a couple of days. We plan the work during school holidays, weekends, or after hours to minimise disruption to your teaching schedule.

Do you offer maintenance for intruder alert systems?

We certainly do.

We provide regular testing and servicing to make sure your alarms work the first time, every time. You cannot afford for these systems to fail when you need them.

Who can trigger the lockdown?

You decide.

We usually install secure panic buttons at reception, in the head teacher’s office, and provide mobile panic fobs for key staff members so an alert can be raised instantly.

alexander hallam

I am taking this opportunity to award you the finest Rating for my FRESH FISH ORDER. I spent hours searching for a wet fish supplier on the NET. I patiently waited for the delivery in my front garden and was met with the APC COURIER with A BOX OF FRESH FISH. All of the 4 TYPES OF FISH were individually sealed and stored in a large POLYSTYRENE BOX with frozen GELL. I cooked the Haddock and the Halibut for our evening meal; I have never tasted such nicer Fish. I have another 5 portions of various fish to sample in the next few days, I cannot wait.!! Thank You. I look forward to a long lasting arrangement.
