Classroom Door Lockdown Devices
Safe-Latch is a latch hold-back device that keeps doors locked during daily activities and emergencies while maintaining smooth classroom flow and accessibility.
Reinforce Safety and Classroom Flow With Safe-Latch
Equip your school with Safe-Latch from Hoffman Security Solutions (HSS) to support classroom door-locking policies, while giving teachers and staff the freedom to move in and out with ease. Unlike barricade-style locks, which can violate fire codes, Safe-Latch provides one-motion egress and keeps doors accessible from the hallway with a key. This classroom door latch hold-back device ensures dependable performance during both everyday routines and emergency situations — including those that require rapid school door lockdowns for active-shooter response.
Safe-Latch installs easily, without altering existing door hardware, making it a cost-effective, low-disruption solution for enhancing school security.
Fast-Access Emergency Key Grab (EKG)
Hoffman Security Solutions also offers the Emergency Key Grab (EKG) for K-12 schools, designed to work hand-in-hand with classroom safety systems like Safe-Latch. The EKG uses KeyWatcher Touch technology to securely store classroom keys in a hallway-accessible cabinet, ensuring first responders and authorized staff can gain immediate entry during an emergency. By making critical keys instantly available without compromising security, the EKG strengthens school preparedness and supports faster, safer emergency response.

FAQs About Safe-Latch
What makes Safe-Latch different from other classroom door lockdown devices?
Safe-Latch is not a barricade, so it remains compliant with fire codes and allows one-motion egress. It maintains safety without impeding accessibility.
Can Safe-Latch be installed on existing classroom doors?
Yes. Safe-Latch magnets to the door frame and a laynard may be attached to ensure that Safe-Latch stays where needed.
Can first responders still access the classroom during lockdown?
Yes. Doors equipped with Safe-Latch can always be opened from the hallway with a key, and the complementary Emergency Key Grab (EKG) product from Hoffman Security Solutions uses KeyWatcher Touch technology to securely store and lock those keys until authorized personnel need them.
Does Safe-Latch work for perimeter or exterior doors?
No. Safe-Latch is designed specifically for interior classroom doors, not outer building doors.
