Built Around Official Guidance
The Department for Education is explicit that a lockdown alert must be different from your fire alarm — and sets five tests every first alert should pass. Our systems are designed around them.
"The alarm must differ in some way from the actual fire alarm sound, which would automatically lead to evacuation."Department for Education — Protective Security and Preparedness for Education Settings (April 2025)
One press on a wireless button or app — the whole site alerts in seconds.
Sounders, strobes and phone notifications cover every member of staff.
Multiple trigger points — no single point of failure at reception.
Signals the threat without broadcasting where people are sheltering.
Discreet activation that doesn't endanger the person triggering it.
Criteria from DfE guidance, "Communicating about the threat across your setting" (April 2025), which defines lockdown, invacuation and evacuation as distinct responses — each needing its own clear signal.

About Lockdown UK
Lockdown UK was founded by engineers from the fire and electrical life-safety industry. That heritage matters: lockdown systems are life-safety systems, and we design, install, monitor and maintain them to the same disciplines as fire detection.
Every survey, drawing, manual and service certificate is produced to professional life-safety standards — an audit-ready record from day one, backed by 24/7 professional monitoring.
Lockdown UK is part of the Cit-E Group UK Ltd.
