How it works

LayerLock Emergency Response in Action

During a normal school day the safe remains in a dormant state, nobody at this time can access the safe. In order for the safe to come out of its dormant state there must be an activation signal from a panic button that would be carried by a figure of authority. Once the authority figure recognizes an emergency, such as an active assailant, they hit the panic button waking up all the safes in the building from their dormant state. When this happens, the safe would begin beeping and light up, alerting the teacher that there is a real threat in the building. The teacher would then use their biometrics (such as a fingerprint) or their secure pin to open the safe and access the firearm, allowing them the ability to immediately respond and defend their classroom.

System Hardware Components

Inside the LayerLock System

The LayerLock system is powered by a secure, multi-step hardware process designed to respond quickly and intelligently in high-risk situations. 

Key Fob Alert

Once an emergency situation is recognized, select personnel (such as an SRO) will use the key fob to alert the alert badge.

Alert Badge

Once alerted by the Key Fob, the Alert Badge will begin beeping to alert the teacher that there is an ongoing emergency.

Biometric Safe

Once the safe receives the signal, the safe begins beeping, alerting the teacher that it can now be opened.

Alert Signals

Once the key fob makes an alert, it sends out several signals alerting local authorities and triggering the lockdown system.

Schools that Allow Teachers to Carry Guns are Extremely Safe

The Crime Prevention Research Center’s May 2019 analysis examines whether policies allowing teachers to carry concealed firearms on school campuses affect the likelihood of school shootings. According to data compiled from 2000 to 2018, no school that permits teachers or staff to carry handguns has experienced a shooting during school hours (between 6 a.m. and midnight), nor have there been incidents of students being wounded or killed in such settings—only one accidental discharge occurred, and it happened off‑campus with no significant harm. Meanwhile, schools without these policies have seen a troubling rise in shootings—deaths doubled in the 2009–2018 period compared to 2001–2008. The study concludes that allowing armed teachers appears to deter active shooter events without increasing accidental or malicious gun harm.....

Armed adults frequently mishandle their guns in schools.

Giffords Law Center’s April 2023 investigation reveals over 60 publicly reported cases in the past five years where school staff—such as teachers and school police—who were authorized to carry firearms on campus mishandled them. These incidents ranged from guns left unsecured in restrooms and locker rooms, a security guard leaving a firearm in a school bathroom reachable by a fifth grader, to accidental discharges, self-harm, threats, and misuse during student disciplinary actions. The report underscores that as states like Florida and Tennessee consider placing guns in classrooms, the frequency of these mishandling events casts doubt on claims that armed staff simply deter threats—suggesting instead that they introduce new risks and underscore the importance of professional law enforcement training over civilian armament.....
