replace full glass doors
We remove old doors with full glass and replace, install new safer and more secure school entrance door systems.
The main entrance of a school should be clearly marked and direct traffic through a secured vestibule that is visible from the main office where visitors are directed to walk through in order to gain entrance into the school. Perimeter doors should be limited, and locked at all times. Vestibules should be transparent for natural surveillance, and hollow metal window walls provide that surveillance and bolistic film can be added to the windows. Bullet proof glass can be added at a reception window for optimum protection.
This is an example of a good design I found, published by the Texas Association for School Administrators.
