So who exactly is the "They" in your post?

Do the schools in your area have such a system?

Have you thought through any downsides besides the cost of such a system?

What happens in a fire?



It's the 21st century. All kind of stuff is possible.
Including pass thru doors that can be opened from inside even when locked. Sensors that signal a door not properly closed. Doors electronically locked, that, also unlock?

The pass through is mechanical,
Not reliant on signal or power, folks can get out.

If the system works, the doors could be simultaneously unlocked.
Allowing easier acess to responders. Patched into the alarm so it
can only be activated with the alarm, or, sets the alarm off.

If it can't be used to open in an emergency? So what?
Normal locked doors can't either. They beat/pry them open everyday
in emergencies.



Can't believe someone so tuned in to so many important people involved
in defense, security, forced entry....is stymied by a lock.
