The Role of Lockdown Alarms
Fast, clear alerts save time. In a real emergency, seconds matter. Hereās how a dedicated lockdown system helps you actāwithout confusion, fully aligned with Martyn's Law (Terrorism Act 2025).
1) Purpose of Alarm
Fire alarms tell people to leave. Lockdown alarms do the opposite. They keep people indoors, quiet, and safe. See From legislation to action.
2) Multi-Point Triggers
- Wireless fobs or wall points around the site.
- Single-action activation under extreme stress.
- Engineered for noisy or crowded conditions.
3) Distinct Voice Messaging
Use a distinct tone and a short voice message so people donāt mistake it for a fire alarm or drill.

Wireless installs quickly and avoids heavy cabling costsāuseful for listed buildings or multi-block sites. See Why the law exists.
5) Built to Adapt
Move devices, add zones, or extend coverage as your site evolves. Our systems are fully portable should your venue relocate.
Martyn's Law Ready
Our alarms meet the "Standard Tier" and "Enhanced Tier" requirements for physical security measures and alert systems.
