ā Multiple Activation Points
Why a School Lockdown Alarm Matters in UK Schools
In a real incident, the hardest part is often the first minute. A lockdown alarm helps staff communicate fastāactivated from multiple points so youāre not relying on one location.
The real problem: delays and uncertainty
The Reliance Gap
Relying on a single person at reception creates a bottleneck when seconds matter most.
Mixed Messaging
Without a clear signal, staff improvise. A site-wide alarm ensures a consistent, trained response.
Audibility Gaps
Standard bells miss noisy workshops or playgrounds. Our system ensures total coverage.
Drill Readiness
Build a robust safeguarding culture with a system designed specifically for repeatable drills.
Why "Anywhere" matters
Front-line Control
The person facing the incident shouldn't have to run to an office. They raise the alarm instantly from wherever they stand.
Multi-Building Reach
Essential for split-site schools where building-to-building communication is naturally slow or unreliable during an emergency.

Lockdown FAQs
Is this different to our fire alarm? +
Yes. Fire alarms signal evacuation. A lockdown alarm signals "stay-put." Using the same tone for both can lead pupils to run out into danger.
How many units do we need? +
We conduct a full signal-strength survey to ensure audibility in all classrooms, halls, and outdoor playgrounds.
