More Than 212,000 Students Have Experienced Gun Violence At Schools Since Columbine School safety is one of the most important issues facing educators AND communities across the country. We understand that thoroughly and completely. ALP lockdown shades are the most effective blackout shades for schools, providing protection by securely covering entire classroom door windows. Lockdown shades are an integral part of classroom security, but they need to be affordable. School safety should not bankrupt a school district’s budget. With more than 5 years of experience providing lockdown shades and over 45 years of history and manufacturing reliability, we offer factory-direct pricing significantly lower than other shades on the market. We know that it should not cost a lot of money to protect classrooms – schools should not have to choose between books or blackout shades. Although there is no “one size fits all” solution to school security, every school district needs to have a lockdown procedure in place. At our core, we believe in providing workable and affordable solutions to classroom safety issues; we stock standard sizes and have the capability to easily manufacture custom sizes that fit any window, including sidelights and windows with larger vision panels. Key features of our shades: • Securely attach to windows so they don’t move • No curling that can expose classrooms to outside threats • Integral part of an effective lockdown procedure • Flame retardant fabric that is NFPA701 Fire Test compliant • Easily installed with no tools or hardware required (in 90 seconds or less in most cases) Division of ALP Sewing Website: https://www.alpsewing.com
