Sadly, active shooter incidents have significantly increased in frequency over the past few years, and are unfortunately much more prevalent now than before.

The high profile mass shootings in Atlanta, where eight people were killed on March 16th and the deadly March 22nd Colorado shooting that took the lives of ten people, were among at least seven mass shootings in a one week period across the United States. Mental health experts say the effects these horrific events have on the American public are amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic1. Gun Violence Archive statistics show mass shootings rose from 417 in 2019 to 611 in 2020, including 95 incidents in June of 2020 alone. With 103 incidents occurring in the first few months of 2021 (as of March 22nd), active shooter incidents are down from the height of the COVID-19 shutdowns but are still 53% higher than the 1st-quarter average of the past four years2.

Choosing the Right Locking System for a Hotel
April 9, 2021 via Lodging Magazine

Guests often consider a hotel’s amenities when choosing a place to stay. Hotel door locks are an overlooked amenity that have a big impact on the guest experience. Guests can misplace keys and cards, causing them to visit the front desk for new ones, sometimes having to pay a fee for lost keys. Locking technologies available on the market make hotel manager’s jobs easier, and guests can have a more relaxing experience.
