Improving School Safety and Security
Managing access to schools, colleges and universities have become increasingly complex. Buildings are widely spread out and many of them are rented out to public. Teachers, staff, coaches, maintenance crews, contractors, vendors, and people who lease the space all must be given keys. Since they usually need access to multiple rooms, it is not uncommon they are issued master keys. To avoid penalties for lost keys, often time these keys get duplicated. Over time schools lose control of the keys and become vulnerable to theft, drug or alcohol smuggling, and even false alarms.
iCrescendo is privileged to work with many school districts and colleges to combat these threats. With CyberLock, school administrators meet the following objectives:
- Budget – CyberLock increases operational efficiency and saves district money in the long run
- Key Control – CyberKey cannot be duplicated; minimizes number of keys issued
- Lost or stolen key – remove access quickly without having tore-key
- Vandalism – protect locks from being picked or vandalized
- Incident Reporting – gather evidence when incidents occurred
- Business Continuity – ensure systems remain functional during power outage
- Access Control – establish accountability and control access based on privileges
iCrescendo can help you improve safety and security by easily converting existing mechanical locks into an access control system. With electronic lock cylinders, programmable CyberKeys, and CyberAudit-Web Enterprise software, you can create a powerful system that tracks and controls access to every lock in your facility.

School Safety and Security
Problem: Controlling Access at School
The security of children in our schools is a growing concern. Ken Donovan first read about the CyberLock
system in the Locksmith Ledger. Later, he went to a locksmith conference where one of the instructors
spoke about CyberLock. A few months after that, when the principal had some security concerns and asked for a solution, Ken had the answer.
Elevating Campus Safety and Security
Schools
University of the Pacific, located in Central California, made a decision to elevate the level of safety and security on their campuses and in their buildings. Robert Miller, Card System Manager at Pacific, says, "We were not experiencing security problems, but were looking for solutions that would reduce the potential for problems in the future."
