I admit, I prefer in-person training to online webinars – I think it’s hard to stay engaged when you’re at your desk all alone and there are so many other tasks calling your name. With that said, I can’t meet with each of you individually, so I’m going to be presenting some webinars this year and I hope you will attend (and not simultaneously answer email 🙂 ).
I know that many of you are aware of the recent code changes affecting classroom doors, but maybe you could use a refresher or you have colleagues or customers who would benefit from attending. There is no charge to participate, and we’ll be offering AIA and DHI learning units for the live webinars. (UPDATE: I have registered as an education provider with the International Code Council (ICC) and this webinar is now approved for ICC continuing education credit!) I will also be archiving the webinars to start a library on iDigHardware of 1-hour classes on some of the topics that people ask about most.
Here’s the description for Webinar 1:
As school districts and higher-education facilities work to improve school security, it’s critical that the requirements of the model codes and accessibility standards are followed. The 2018 editions of the International Building Code, International Fire Code, and NFPA 101 – Life Safety Code, all include changes specific to classroom doors. A Tentative Interim Amendment was approved in 2019, which further modifies the 2018 edition of NFPA 101. This webinar will cover the requirements of the model codes and the ADA Standards for Accessible Design that apply to classroom doors. We will discuss state legislation that may also have an impact on security decisions, and other considerations that should be taken into account when selecting classroom security products. There will be time for Q&A at the end of the webinar.
Webinar 1 will be presented twice on Thursday, February 27th:
Click here to register for the morning class – 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST
Click here to register for the afternoon class – 2:00 – 3:00 PM EST
Feel free to share this information with your colleagues, coworkers, and others!
Webinar 2 will be in April, and the topic is Panic Hardware – When, Where, and Why? Watch for more info on that next month.

Hi Lori :
Like you I hate online training, I’ve been in the fire/EMS for over 42 years and I would rather do a live in-person class but sometimes you can’t have it that way, I tried signing up for tomorrows seminar but I never got a reply please sign me up, thank you
Hi Lori, the form doesn’t seem to like my Canadian Postal Code. Is it possible for us Canadians to sign up?
Hi Ken –
Of course Canadians are welcome – I don’t discriminate! 🙂
Let me talk to our webinar system expert and I’ll see if there’s a way to put in a Canadian postal code or whether you should just use 12345 or something like that. Sorry for the inconvenience!
– Lori
You can use 46032, which is the zip code of our US headquarters. Thanks Ken!
– Lori
I’m in. 🙂 Thanks Lori
Lorie, any chance for ICC credits
Well, since you asked – I think so! 🙂 The timing is a little tight for the first webinar because I have to get registered as a provider and then register the class, but I’m working on it. It looks like ICC members can watch the recording and self-report, or maybe we could do a re-run of the webinar and collect everyone’s info and submit it to the ICC for credit. The last time I looked into this (which was apparently prior to 2014ish), the ICC didn’t have this program. Thanks for bringing it up!

We want to sign up but the user registration will not accept an email address.
Hi Jim –
I’m not sure why the system wouldn’t accept your email address, but I will try to sign you up. Do you want to attend the morning or afternoon session?
– Lori
Could we do afternoon please.
It would be
dcarlsen@cih-inc.com and
hightshoej@cih-inc.com
Apparently John Cohrs had no problem.
Thank you.
Hi Jim –
I signed both of you up using the link in the blog post – I’m not sure why it worked for me (and John) but not for you. Let me know if you did not receive confirmation emails with the link to join the webinar.
