[Dallas Themshirts]

TheHideaway Helper classroom door window shade is a simple, fast and effective solution for school safety needs. In an emergency, simply pull on the Velcro tab to release the door window shade. It takes only seconds for the safety shade to drop into place to completely cover the window.

*If there are any obstructions above, in-line with or below the window, please provide a picture along with the window pane measurements. We are happy to work with you to figure how to make the Hideaway Helper Lockdown Shade safety blinds meet your needs!

Step 1: Test the shade to ensure it is the proper shade for your window prior to installing. Hold the shade above the window glass and deploy it. Be sure that it fully covers both sides and the bottom of the window.

Step 5: For larger shades, it may be necessary to install the adhesive only and allow it to cure to the surface without the weight of the shade. In these cases, you can install the shade per the steps above, and then remove the shade only leaving the Velcro adhesive strip on the surface. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24-48 hours and then reattach the shade to the Velcro adhesive strip.

Do you have windows that are hard to reach? The Hideaway Helper Extension Strap is the perfect solution. This extension strap allows you to release the Hideaway Helper lockdown shade into place while standing at floor level.

Using the extension strap in either position will put Hideaway Helper lockdown shades into reach on windows that are in high or hard to reach places. Contact us to place an order for the Hideaway Helper Extension Strap.

We are a team of professionals that is focused on providing school safety products that meet the safety standards set by school districts and universities. We understand what is necessary to prepare for in the event of a lockdown drill or emergency.

School Safety Solution is proud to offer the original Hideaway Helper Lockdown Shade for all organizations. Our Hideaway Helper lockdown shade, an essential school safety product, was invented by teachers and have been in schools since 2013, playing a critical role in classroom school safety and security in over 6000 buildings across the United States and Canada. We are the only patented lockdown shade on the market. Our patent was applied for in 2013 and issued in 2015. No other company that produces lockdown shades or blinds can accurately claim to have the experience and history of School Safety Solution.

Our window lockdown shades are not the only solution for increased school security; however, we believe it is the best solution. Other options include security blinds and roller shades, metal window coverings, or paper.

Security blinds and roller shades are time consuming to close in the event of a lockdown emergency and are more difficult to install. Installation of classroom security blinds or roller shades often requires the use of additional hardware and tools, altering the structure of a door or wall, and may not be compatible on all doors or window areas. In addition, many blinds and roller shades do not meet the standards held by local fire codes.

Hideaway Helper lockdown shades are made of fire retardant fabric, are easy to install, and deploy within seconds of the Velcro tab being released. They are also compatible on all door and other window areas. Our lockdown shades are designed to last and have stood the test of time.

Metal window coverings are typically the most expensive choice and will not work on all window sizes and locations. In addition, some metal window coverings are bulky and require a creative storage solution. They also require a person to have to kneel or bend over during a lockdown which forces him/her to take his/her eye off the situation.

Our lockdown shades are affordable and can be made to fit any size window, no matter the width or length. Also, our lockdown shades are hung above the window to be covered, which allows a person to maintain a standing position, able to keep his/her eye on the situation.

Obviously, this is the least expensive choice but the most ineffective. Not only is it time consuming, it also poses a fire hazard and is not guaranteed to be blackout. It is not an effective security solution to have windows covered with paper at all times.

As mentioned before, Hideaway Helper lockdown shades are made of high quality, fire-retardant, blackout fabric. In addition, they deploy within seconds to completely block the view into a room during a lockdown drill or emergency situation. When they are not in use, our lockdown shades remain in a rolled position which allows proper view into a classroom or office.

Since our blackout lockdown shades are made with extremely high quality, heavy fabric and a weighted hem-bar, there is enough weight to help it fall into place quickly and effectively. We want to keep our lockdown shades at the most affordable price because we want all buildings that are prone to threats to have our window coverings in place as an added level of protection.

Securing the bottom also increases the likelihood for future maintenance. Imagine an elementary classroom full of children who love to touch and pick at everything. There is no chance for a Velcro strip or tabs to stay stuck to the door for a long period of time! The tabs simply become a nuisance and require additional work and costs to the maintenance team.

Compatibility for ALL window covering applications is necessary. Our window covering will work for any window application. The Hideaway Helper Lockdown Shade works on inset windows, sidelights, door windows and other window areas.

2. Inspect the clearance space ABOVE the window. Hideaway Helper lockdown shades have a 2-inch adhesive Velcro strip at the top which means you will need at least 2 inches above the window to attach the shade. If you do not have enough room, please contact us. We are always happy to find a solution to meet your needs.

3. Look carefully at what is IN-LINE WITH or BELOW the window. If there are any obstructions such as crash bars, door handles, window ledges, or even the floor, we can work with you to design your shades so they deploy properly despite these obstacles.

6. If you run across questions or a need for clarification, please feel free to contact us by calling 888-733-0406 or emailing in...@schoolsafetysolution.com. It is our desire to make sure you get the exact school safety product you need to provide maximum security in your building.

Oftentimes, schools will order our window coverings and simply hand them out for teachers or other staff to install on their own classroom or office door. Other buildings may opt to have their maintenance department hang all of the security shades. The bottom line is that our shades are so incredibly easy to install, anyone can do it!

ODL Add-On Blinds for Doors let you control light and privacy levels with smooth fingertip control, while eliminating the banging, swinging, and dangling cords of traditional door blinds. ODL Add-On Blinds install easily, right on top of your existing door glass, and never need dusting! The cordless design is safer for children and pets, with blinds enclosed behind a layer of tempered safety glass.

Installation is easy and typically takes less than an hour. In most cases you'll only need a screwdriver. The frame of your ODL Add-On Blinds never needs painting or staining (but can be painted or stained if you like). An additional layer of tempered safety glass increases energy efficiency, reducing heat loss in the winter and solar heat gain in the summer.
