Allen Huguley of Wagstaff Taylor & Associates, Inc. sent me today's Fixed-it Friday photo...he's not responsible for detailing this "fix"! (Although I'm kind of impressed with the workmanship!)

In preparation for the upcoming conference, From Education to Action: School Security Summit, Christin Kinman shares a preview from one of the speakers, Mike Olsen of 360 Security Services.

A few weeks ago I shared some information about the delayed egress locks I spotted in the Bogotá airport...I guess this is another way to "delay" egress. (Not recommended!)

Through my involvement against legislation that would allow barricade devices in schools, I have seen many cases where good intentions lead to unintended consequences.

I saw this Fixed-it Friday door down at the home improvement store. What do you think? Is this extended door loop a legit way to transfer the power to the hardware?

Christin Kinman of Allegion has organized a fantastic event - please share it with your network of teachers, school administrators and staff, risk managers, security directors, parents, and beyond!

Mark Kuhn and I are in Savannah this week to attend the BHMA meetings. Yesterday we happened upon a locksmith shop near the hotel, and after reading about the shop's history - I was wordless!

I recently wrote a post about a change to NFPA 80 related to field-installed glazing in wood fire doors, and Hal Kelton of DOORDATA Solutions pointed out another change to the standard.

Mark Kuhn is following up on last week's electrifying post about electric strikes, with his thoughts on electromagnetic locks. Do you have anything to add?

Today's Fixed-it Friday photo shows an epic(ly terrible) "fix" on a fire door assembly in a hotel corridor - at least I'm assuming it's rated based on the fire exit hardware and what looks like the outline of a label.
