Revolutionizing School Safety With Won-Doors: A New Standard In Security Solutions
School safety is a top priority for administrators across the nation. With over 17,000 students in 26 schools, the Superintendent of Tooele County School District, Utah, poses a crucial question: ‘How can we ensure the best return on investment when securing our schools?'”
When he first heard about Won-Door he asked a second question, “How are doors going to help me with my concern of keeping kids safe in the event of an emergency or an intruder?”
The initial skepticism is understandable: ‘Can doors really protect our children in emergencies or intruder situations?’ The answer lies in the innovative technology of Won-Doors.
Won-Door Technology
Using Won-Doors helps minimize the visual impact of the added security in schools and at the same time creates a safe, open environment that is conducive to learning, while providing much-needed fire and security protection.
Central Command: Control your school from a command center and have complete control over compartmentalization of your campus with the push of a button.
Retrofit: The same protection levels can be had on both existing and new construction that fits the unique design of your facility without interrupting the school season.
School Lockdown: Seven seconds is all it takes to lock down your school to block sight and prevent outside intruders from entering. Compartmentalizes and hardens buildings in seconds while still meeting ADA requirements and allowing for safe and secure passageway. Shut and lock corridors with a push of a button.
Real World Applications
Won-Doors are installed in schools and universities across the nation to help mitigate school tragedies using remote-deployable security doors that also prevent the spread of fire.

Dr. Scott Rogers, Superintendent of Schools, Tooele County School District:
“What keeps us up at night is student, staff and parent safety. I saw these doors, and they are strong. I put my shoulder into one because I didn’t believe it. I saw videos of guys with sledgehammers, crowbars and chairs trying to break through these barriers and it just didn’t happen. They are durable, almost maintenance free and aesthetically, they look nice.”
I haven’t seen anything better for school hardening than Won-Door’s safety and security doors.
Marianne Oborn, Director of Counseling and Social Services, Tooele County School District:
“When we saw the examples that they showed us, my expectations were exceeded. It was more inviting, more open. It was fantastic. It was even better than what I expected. It really does add to a more mentally healthy environment.”
Andy Peterson, Rose Springs Elementary, School Principal:
“I was completely sold once I saw the doors (Won-Doors) in action. Reception from parents was fantastic, they were very excited that we now have these doors.”
Lisa Purnue, mother of an elementary student:
“There is a comforting, calm feeling when I drop my daughter off at school that I haven’t had until the Won-Doors were installed. With this in place, I have peace of mind.”
Steve West, Operations Director:
“With 30 days and 15 doors, I was absolutely amazed they were able to accomplish that, make it happen, get our school clean, get things back and ready for our school to open in a very short time.”
