Held by small screws, easy to force entry and if installed correctly it can be opened with a piece of wire.

What would be wrong with a simple wedge type door stop? It is certainly smaller and will work just as well.

It would slide on the slick floor surface.

Both of the inventions in the OP depend on engaging the metal frame of the door and would be effective for a while. If given enough time they could be defeated. But beats the hell out of what we're doing now!!
 
Good on him.

Know what else would work that would be quicker and easier?

A fricken dead bolt on the steel doors, which happen to conveniently be set in steel frames. Someone oughta invent THAT.

Oh, wait...


You know what else shop class would be good for? Churning out weapons and weapons racks. Imagine what it would be like if a gunman entered a school filled with hundreds of armed Spartans...

I doubt it if it is made of rubber. Seen plenty of them work. The rubber compresses down rather than sliding.
 
It is ridiculous that schools are not better protected by now. I can't fathom how ideas like this and others have not become everyday items. Hell, they like to hold bake sales so let's hold bake sales to raise money to buy them for every school!! ;)

We are even working with a company that has designed ballistic doors for schools. Just lock the damn thing and you have a ready-made safe room!

Intentional complacency. It’s the same reason why buses are still built with bench seats and no seat belts throughout.

Schools get the biggest pass when they start showing a deficit in their budgets since “it’s all for the chirren”

Actually school bus seats for states like California and Texas are all built with seat belts installed, it’s completely up to how the law is written state by state and what the schools order from the manufacturer.

What stops them from knocking out the glass then shooting everybody huddled up?
 
Good for him, and good for a school district that still has shop class.

That said, sliding bolts on the door going into the frame or floor would be sufficient for this application.

I disagree.

School districts don’t want to spend the money on newer, safer buses so they lobby to keep the laws as written. That equates to complacency.

You can disagree all you want, as someone who worked for the manufacturer of said busses all I was saying is that the option is available and is regularly purchased by some school systems. Some of them here in NC.
 
Slick device. But the best solution is to engage and stop the bad guys before they enter the school. I say "guys" because the Islamic radicals are just sitting back and watching these news stories of kids getting slaughtered.

They are also salivating over the calls for increased gun control and expanding gun free zones.

5 or six bad guys could wipe out a school in a few minutes. I don't want to hear the school systems can't afford armed patrols outside their schools. That's a joke of a statement considering what they spend on other non-essentials.

Just in Guilford county alone they could outsource their waste hauling (yes the county has its own school district trash trucks) and just about pay for it with the cost savings of a private company doing it vs their cost to do it themselves.

Yes they buy used City Of Greensboro trash trucks and try to keep them running.
 
Locks only work for honest people, same for these bars.
Most buildings have drywall and that is easily breached.

A knowledgeable maniac could waltz right into a school with a sack of fully loaded lever-action big bore rifles and kill kids in classrooms without opening a single door.

But the liberals are too stupid to know any better.

There's another huge weakness with schools out there that are located in high growth areas. Those portable classrooms are major sitting ducks and are a perfect argument for "On the grounds" patrols by heavily armed people, regardless of whether they're volunteers or paid contractors.

You are right... I have been blind to this at one of my kids school. And they introduce another vulnerability... Unlocked doors that allow passage to and from the main building during the whole day.
