Disclosed is a door security kit comprising (1) a metallic cuboid compartment, (2) a door guard assembly, and (3) an ASA/ANSI modified strike plate, the modified strike plate constructed with a top notch, a bottom notch, and an elongated lip. The metallic compartment further manifests a rear planar panel, having an adjustable channel cutout. A mortise cylinder mounted externally to one surface of the compartment connects to a tailpiece at one end with a keyway extending therethrough. Rotation of the keyway operates the tailpiece and a connected rod, the rod moving metallic plates to control the size of the adjustable channel. Decreasing the length of the adjustable channel causes the channel to clamp onto the notches of the strike plate, preventing movement of the door bolt from its insertion within the modified strike plate. The door, and the strike plate, are both housed and operate within a doorjamb.

A building lockdown system for a building with multiple rooms with doors providing access to the rooms, the system including smart light fixtures positioned inside and outside at least some of the rooms, at least some of the smart light fixtures configured to be selectively illuminated in each of a plurality of colors, and room lockdown components provided in the plurality of rooms, the room lockdown components adapted to block or secure the doors of the rooms against opening in a deployed condition of the lockdown components. The smart light fixtures and the room lockdown components are equipped with BLE sensors defining a BLE mesh network. The room lockdown components are adapted to communicate, via the BLE mesh network, whether they are in the deployed condition thereof, and are further adapted to provide audio and/or visual signals. At least one primary communication and control (PCC) device is disposed in the building and in communication with at least some of the smart light fixtures via the BLE mesh network. The PCC device receives information via the BLE mesh network as to whether the room lockdown components are in the deployed condition thereof. The PCC device is operative to initiate a lockdown of all or part of the building by effecting a change in the color of at least some of the smart light fixtures via the BLE mesh network and/or effecting the activation of audio and/or visual signals from the room lockdown components.

The disclosure is directed to a cabinet, a door panel and a lock member, namely: a cabinet comprising at least one door panel (12) displaceable over an opening of the cabinet between an open position and a closed position, said door panel is configured with at least at one of a top rail and a bottom rail with an attachable locking member (80), and where the locking member is configured for locking with a locking member of a neighboring door panel or with a cabinet frame locking portion. a door panel for a cabinet, said door panel being fully interchangeable, wherein the door panel (12) is configured to serve as any one of a top door, a bottom door, an intermediate door, a left rail hinged door and a right rail hinged door, and wherein at least one of a top rail and a bottom rail of the door panel is configured for receiving a door reinforcing element (30A), said door reinforcing element configured for receiving a locking member engageable to a neighboring door. a locking member (80) for use in conjunction with a cabinet, said locking member configured for attaching to a door panel of the cabinet, said locking member is configured for locking with a locking member of a neighboring door panel (12) or a cabinet frame locking portion.

A panel fastening device that is configured to move together a first frame of a first panel unit having a first glass panel mounted within the first frame and a second frame of a second panel unit having a second glass panel mounted within the second frame. The device includes a suction cup is configured to be coupled to and released from the first glass panel of the first panel unit, and a structure is configured to be pressed against and released from the second frame of the second panel unit.

An emergency door lock system and method is provided for securing a door during an emergency situation. The emergency door lock system or barricade includes a portable removable lock pin, an interior door bracket, an exterior door bracket, and a set of u-shaped clamp brackets.
