A safe school is a must, but unfortunately this is not always the case. A school must be a safe haven where children feel at home, raise their level of knowledge and can romp around in all safety. It’s therefore very important that the perimeter around the school guarantees that safety which gives peace of mind to parents, teachers and management.

At Locinox, we offer various solutions for school gates.

Solution 1: a self-closing school gate

School gates will keep children inside, since they are curious and walk away easily. However, school gates should be self-closing. Done with signs saying “Please close the gate behind you”. We offer a wide range of hydraulic gate closers – there is a gate closer for each gate. The Verticlose-2 gate closer which we propose closes effortlessly heavy school gates, up to 150kg and 150cm wide. Moreover, speed and final snap can be adjusted meticulously to close the school gate perfectly. Whatever the weather outside, the school gate will always close.

Solution 2: a code panel for extra access control

School gates will also keep people out. You can equip your school gate with the waterproof and robust SlimStone keypad in combination with the Modulec electric keep. The Modulec fits perfectly in the same drilling holes as any other Locinox keep. SlimStone will grant anyone with the correct code access to the school, also outside school hours. By the way, there’s a built-in heating element which ensures operation in the freezing cold. The Tricone led light offers an energy-efficient lighting for when its dark.

Solution 3: mechanical access control

Also without electricity it’s perfectly possible to provide access control to the school gate. Thanks to the VINCI mechanical code lock, only those with the correct code have access to the school. Any Locinox lock can be replaced by a VINCI mechanical code lock in an instant. Discover the video how it’s done.

You can apply each of these solutions separately to any school gate, no problem. You’re looking for 100% peace of mind and you don’t want any compromise on safety? Then we suggest you to combine a gate closer with access control. This is the only way to ensure that you provide a safe environment for your students.

And that’s what we are all longing for, right?
