School classroom door barricade - Bolo Stick protecting students

The Challenge Facing Schools

Over 51 million students return to school each year. School administrators face a critical question: how do you protect every classroom without breaking the budget?

Most school security devices are expensive, require training, and only work on certain door types. The Bolo Stick was designed by a 33-year law enforcement veteran to solve all three problems: it costs $69, requires zero training, and works on every door type in your building — inswing or outswing.
