Classroom locks get used constantly and are held to a higher standard than an average office door, since many need to allow a teacher to secure the room from inside quickly if needed.
Signs a Classroom Lock Needs Replacing
- The lock is an older style that can't be secured from inside the room without a key
- Visible wear on the latch or cylinder from years of daily use
- The lock doesn't meet current school security hardware standards
- Repeated jamming or sticking that a repair hasn't resolved
What Current Classroom Locks Look Like
Many schools are moving toward classroom function locks that let a teacher lock the door from inside without stepping into the hallway. See electronic classroom locks for the electronic version of this.
Doing a Building-Wide Assessment
If one classroom lock is outdated, others in the same building likely are too. We can assess a full building at once rather than replacing locks one at a time as they fail.
