EVERWhite Introduces Shelter-in-Place Door Barricade

Schools and businesses looking to secure classrooms and offices during active-shooter lockdowns can now rely on BARRICADEpro — a bullet-resistant door barrier designed to protect room occupants, while providing daily use of its whiteboard surfaces.

Hartford, Wis.-based EVERWhite today introduced the school security product.

With heavy duty, five-inch casters, BARRICADEpro can be easily rolled into position during lockdowns. Caster locks prevent intruders from pushing BARRICADEpro, while an anti-tipping bracket prevents the barrier from being tipped over.

Completely Blocks Intruder Access to a Room

Common classroom and office doors are completely covered by BARRICADEpro, which stands 85 inches tall and 44 inches wide, so intruders have no sightline into a room. The ballistic coverage extends from 0.6 inch from the floor up 78 inches, so bullets cannot be fired into the room.

BARRICADEpro’s internal quarter-inch-thick steel plating is designed to stop multiple rounds from high-powered rifles. In testing, the unit met the bullet-stopping criteria of Level 3 of the National Institute of Justice. All corners and edges are wrapped in 14-gauge steel. The steel armor overlaps at all edges.

Non-Staining Dry Erase Surfaces

The interior front and side panels have EVERWhite dry erase, matte surfaces, allowing BARRICADEpro to be used every day, and making the unit unobtrusive as a security device. Like all EVERWhite whiteboards, the dry erase surfaces of BARRICADEpro are guaranteed never to stain or ghost. Ink cannot penetrate the non-porous surface, making the boards highly erasable and incredibly easy to clean. The surfaces are magnetic, extending their presentation use.
