HavenLock, the creator of the Haven Lockdown system, has secured its third patent from the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its new and innovative locking system. This brings the company’s total number of patents to six globally.
The USPTO has issued US Patent No. 10,851,568, 11,421,456 and 10,669,758, which cover HavenLock’s patented locking mechanism, absorption capabilities to prevent intrusion and ability to detect and communicate threats to first responders.
According to the company, it originally developed its technology for residential use and has since transitioned its technology into commercial markets, with installations in private, educational, state government and federal Department of Defense systems.
HavenLock‘s innovative patented wireless servo motor operated locking strap system is designed to prevent active shooters from gaining access to interior rooms while alerting first responders to the location of the threat. The company’s flagship product, Haven Lockdown, is a universal door locking apparatus that is mounted to a typical commercial door frame to control and prevent access to a specified area.
The company highlights that Lockdown is one of the strongest locks ever created, made from a unique combination of materials never used before in an access control device. It has a holding force of 2000lbs, a dynamic force resistance threshold of 300 ft. lbs and includes an accelerometer to detect and notify users of an attempted breach event.
“I am proud to receive these awards from the USPTO for our unique and innovative locking platform to prevent active shooter events,” said Alex Bertelli, CEO of HavenLock. “Our patented technology is changing the way people think about protecting interior rooms, not just from active shooters, but from unwanted entry in general. We are finding customers that are using our technology as a low-cost replacement for traditional access control systems that have less strength and technology to fit their changing needs in the workplace.”
