Everyday, in schools across our nation, administrators are tasked with keeping our children safe. Tragedies like Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Douglas bring a greater focus on solutions which can save lives in the event of an active shooter attack. Here, at Cressy Door and Fireplace, we too are looking for innovative ways to make K-12 schools safer for our children.

One solution we highly recommend is the installation of Attack Resistant Retrofit KIts. Curries, one of our door manufacturers, has partnered with School Guard Glass to provide retrofits which are designed to replace glazing in existing hollow metal and wood doors. This vital countermeasure enhances security and delays access from intrusion. In fact, the extra time helps to keep occupants safe until first responders can neutralize the threat. Replacing glazing or glazing with film in existing wood or metal doors with the Attack Resistant Retrofit Kit is an easy and affordable solution to enhance the security of any opening especially in schools.
