Phoenix, AZ School Safety Solutions by Anderson Lock and Safe

Securing school facilities requires a clear strategy and reliable hardware. At Anderson Lock and Safe, we provide physical security solutions that help protect students, teachers, and school property. Our focus is on door locks, latches, and access systems that are simple to use and perform reliably under pressure.

Locking Systems That Work for Arizona Schools

We can supply and install high-security locks to improve school safety.

Every school has different needs, but all require dependable locks. We install and maintain hardware that meets strict safety standards and performs under daily use. Our team works with school districts, charter schools, and private campuses to implement practical and code-compliant security improvements. Our services include:

• Classroom Door Locks: We install and service cylindrical and mortise locks that support both normal classroom use and emergency lockdown needs. Our locks meet school safety guidelines and include options that allow staff to secure rooms from the inside without opening the door.
• SAFEBOLT™ Lockdown Hardware: This system lets teachers lock the door instantly by pressing a red button. It’s designed to work with existing lock hardware and is one of the most cost-effective ways to add lockdown capability. SAFEBOLT™ meets the Department of Homeland Security recommendations and provides a clear visual indicator when engaged. It also allows for single-motion exit and keyed entry for authorized staff or first responders.
• Latch and Strike Reinforcements: Doors are only as strong as their weakest point. We strengthen latches and strike plates so they hold up under pressure. This reduces the risk of forced entry and helps doors close and lock as intended.

Master Key Systems for Controlled Access

Controlling access is just as important as securing rooms in schools. A well-structured master key system limits who can enter certain areas while still allowing staff to move efficiently through the building. Anderson Lock and Safe designs and installs master key systems that simplify key management:

• Tiered Access Levels: Teachers, janitorial staff, administrators, and emergency responders can each have keys with different access privileges.
• Simplified Key Control: Reduce the number of keys carried by staff while improving oversight of who has access to each part of the building.
• Interchangeable Cores: We use cores that can be swapped in the field, making it easy to rekey without removing the lock.

These systems reduce lost key risks and improve accountability across school sites.

Proprietary Key Systems

Standard keys can be copied without permission. For higher security, we offer proprietary key systems. These use restricted key blanks that are not available through retail hardware stores.

With a proprietary key system, only authorized personnel can request duplicates. Anderson Lock and Safe maintains key records and duplication controls to secure your building. This level of control is especially important in administrative offices, IT rooms, and storage areas.

Access Control Integration

Some school areas require more than mechanical keys. We install access control systems that let schools manage entry points electronically. Options include:

• Keypad Access: Staff use a code to enter restricted areas. Codes can be changed as needed.
• Card and Fob Entry: Assign entry rights with swipe or proximity cards. These are easy to deactivate if lost.
• Audit Trails: Some systems record who entered and when, which can be important after an incident.

Access control is especially useful for gymnasiums, computer labs, main entrances, and after-school program spaces. These systems can work alongside traditional locks to create a layered security approach.
