Help Us Finish the Mission: Secure Every Classroom Door
The Hampshire County Sheriff’s Office is proud to support an important initiative to bring Nightlock® Lockdown devices to every remaining classroom in Hampshire County Schools.
Thanks to the support of our community, every classroom at Hampshire High School is already equipped with Nightlock devices. Now, the effort is underway to provide the same added layer of protection for classrooms at:
🏫 Romney Middle School
🏫 Capon Bridge Middle School
🏫 South Branch Elementary School
🏫 Windy Ridge Elementary School
🏫 Ice Mountain Elementary School
🏫 Capon Bridge Elementary School
A Nightlock® Lockdown 1 is a simple, effective classroom door barricade designed to help secure classrooms during emergency lockdowns and active threat situations. It works on both inward and outward-swinging doors, installs on wood or metal doors, and is approved by the West Virginia State Fire Marshal for use in schools. When deployed, it creates a strong floor-anchored barrier that helps resist forced entry.
Why Nightlock?
✅ Approved by the West Virginia State Fire Marshal for use in schools
✅ Works on virtually any classroom door
✅ Fast and easy to deploy when every second matters
✅ UL certified and code compliant
✅ Provides an additional layer of protection during emergencies
While no single security measure can stop every threat, adding proven safety tools like Nightlock devices is another step toward protecting our students, teachers, and staff.
The cost to equip a classroom door is approximately $75.
If you, your family, civic organization, or business would like to sponsor a classroom door or help support this initiative, please contact:
