Panic hardware with visual indicators
Gymnasiums, cafeterias, media centers, music rooms, auditorium and other assembly spaces are larger than traditional classrooms but are still spaces where students gather and learn. These spaces also need to lock down. Many models of panic hardware have visual indicators to whether the device is dogged (latch is being held retracted to the door will pull open) or not.
Doors on assembly areas are often dogged during the day, for easy access in and out. Visual indicator can save time crossing a large space to check on the status of the door.
If the door is unlocked, be sure that teachers and staff know how to quickly undog the panic device, so the room is secure. Basic training on locking, dogging, and using these devices is highly recommended.
