A first installation tool (FIT) for defining the precise location of door hardware on a door that receives a portable locking device (PLD) therein and a second installation tool (SIT) for forming a floor strike at a precise floor location that the PLD interacts with when installed in the door hardware. The FIT includes a pair of adjustable vertically-oriented panels with apertures therein, and a vertically-adjustable base, for releasably securing to the bottom of the door to define and guide a drill to form door apertures for securing the door hardware thereto. The SIT includes a drill, mounted vertically on a base that can be precisely moved horizontally. The SIT includes a coupling assembly that releasably engages with the door apertures. When activated, the drill drills down vertically to remove floor material and is incrementally moved horizontally to forms a precise well in the floor to form the floor strike.

In order to secure a door in a locked position without a key, such as to resist a forced entry through the door, a removable, non-intrusive, remotely-controlled door locking apparatus is provided, which includes a rear plate for attachment against a surface of a door using an adhesive substance, a flange that extends from the rear plate under the door, and a cover for enclosing components on the rear plate. A DC-powered linear actuator connected to the rear plate and at least one electronics module configured to communicate wirelessly is within the cover. A foot of the actuator is configured to be extended in a lock state against a floor surface to secure the door or retracted in an unlock state, based on either a wireless signal received from a remote smart device or the state of a manual switch located on apparatus to control the actuator.

A system and method that balances the two competing interests of weapons detection while maintaining full egress capacity at a portal. A two-part weapons detection device is installed at the portal with one portion fixed to the floor at a side of the portal and the other portion is mounted to the door. With the door closed, the requisite weapons detection field can be established. When it becomes necessary to use the full egress capacity, the door can be opened without the need to remove or disengage the other portion. A laser scanner is also mounted at the top of the portal to establish an upper detection field to prevent a perpetrator from passing a weapon above the detection field. This system/method forms a demising point for a larger system and method that includes logical and physical building compartments for prioritizing staff protection against an assailant in an affordable manner.
