  • Publication number: 20190043297
    Abstract: The automated door-locking device comprises a keypad, a locking bar, and a locking bar catch. The locking bar is of a spring-loaded type. In an embodiment, the automated door-locking device is mounted on a classroom door. The locking bar catch is mounted on the classroom door and the keypad is fastened to the wall of the classroom. The classroom door is allowed to open and close normally when no intruder is on premises. The automated door-locking device is engaged by entering a code using the keypad and setting to “Lock Mode”. The locking bar is automatically rotated to securely engage with the locking bar catch. The automated door-locking device cannot be breached without breaking down the wall or the door. After the threat is over, the user resets the automated door-locking device to the “Safe Mode” using the same code. The locking bar releases from the locking bar catch.
