So could cops doing their job.
Impressive! I hope this student’s invention ends up being sold by Amazon and other big name retailers.
Might be useful for a teacher wanting to do some one-on-one counseling with one of her students. Or perhaps some lines of coke.
Can it be shot out. Has THAT been tested?
Iron emergency or classroom doors with slide bolts would work just effectively. The fire axe in the hall would not be able to break through it.
Is this for use when you are behind a door that opens into the room?
I'm pondering this because I thought classroom doors opened outward to prevent a rush of people from not allowing the door to open inward in an emergency evacuation.
Am I correct in remembering that no school shooter has yet breached a locked door?
He was on Laura Ingraham this week. Headed for Army basic training very shortly.
H*ll, a functional Brev-tard County Police Dept and FBI could save a lot more lives.
In a fluid situation with a shooter or hostage taker, odds are against they will spend a whole lot of time trying to breach the door but will look for an easier target.
There are many other devices on the market as well.
Still, kudos to the kid. Whatever best meets the needs. The only thing is you have to think on the offense side. If a person in the classroom wants to harm or take hostages, could they use something like this which would make breaching the door for rescue more difficult?
But if it were my child in a classroom, if this were the only tool available, it would give more of a chance of survival.
These sick people have evil minds, just like terrorists. They really are terrorists of the domestic sort. And they will get more and more creative to achieve their ends regardless of measures put in place to end the violence.

Will be effective only with a solid core door having a wide, full width frame element at the bottom of the door.

this teenager looks like he’s contributed something positive
this is 10,000 times better than all the sadly-misguided young ‘demostrators’ demanding this or that or the other thing, none of which would make anyone any safer.. and some of which could make them far less safe (They should return to their studies...or perhaps invent, offer some further good ideas like this fellow )
Not much good against an axe-wielding rampager, though.
This is pretty cool, and could help those who shelter-in-place during an active shooter situation.
It is a partial solution, however. Not everyone will be in a position to shelter-in-place.
There has to be an immediate, armed response as well.
Wait till the LIBERALS get together and figure since he designed and built it in the SCHOOL SHOP, was working out of the SCHOOL, that they will invoke the BO mantra
“YOU DIDN’T BUILD THAT”,
Then tax the crap out of him and make him sorry he ever suggested it when he can’t produce it fast enough for .02 LOSS per unit....
This is a prime example as to why our high schools should never have eliminated shop from the curriculum. Kudos to this young man and his creativity!
For safety reasons, doors which are the only exit to a classroom are BY FIRE CODE required to open outwards. A simple pivot bar on the door will keep it closed.
Neither would have stopped Cruz as he tripped the fire alarm to get everyone out of the classrooms.
Now killers can use this to lock students into classrooms before setting a school on fire, without ever needing to go through a background check.
In TOTALLY UNRELATED news, it turns out that there is no technology that can save idiots from themselves. Interesting isn’t it?
Awesome idea.
