Why Lockdown Systems Matter

Lockdown systems enable a fast, coordinated response to violent or terrorist incidents by securing occupants safely inside a building. Unlike fire alarms, which require evacuation, lockdowns are an invacuation.

Under Martyn’s Law, organisations are required to:

  • Understand terrorism risk
  • Put response procedures in place
  • Train staff and test systems

This creates a growing need for documented, reliable lockdown solutions.

 

Security Duty Tiers

Under Martyn’s Law, premises and events are categorised into two security duty tiers based on the number of people reasonably expected to be present. Each tier sets out the level of readiness and security measures required.

 

Lockdown Whitepaper

Lockdown in Practice is a concise, installer-focused whitepaper designed to help security and fire professionals confidently navigate conversations around Martyn’s Law.

 

It explains the intent of the legislation, who it applies to, the responsibilities of the responsible person, and what practical preparedness looks like - translating policy into clear, real-world guidance installers can use with customers.
