"Very rarely do you work with the owner and inventor of a product in our business. William (Bill) Barna is truly the reason this company is successful! Our district is small and could be a blip on his radar, but he treated us like we were his only client. The product is amazingly easy to install and super effective. We looked at them all and the Bolo Stick was runaway the winner. The price point was very friendly for a small school budget and the company stands behind every product they sell. I won’t recommend any other product for door safety to my colleagues because the Bolo Stick is that good."
