Trusted by Schools, Facilities & First Responders
Don't take our word for it — hear from the institutions that rely on The Apex Barricade® every day.
Designed by Those Who've Faced Real-World Threats
Our founder, Thomas Giandomenico, spent over almost four decades in law enforcement and tactical operations. After witnessing countless security failures in institutional settings, he knew there had to be a better way.
Formerly known as Anchorman Inc, The Apex Barricade® was born from real-world experience—engineered to provide reliable, rapid lockdown capability when every second counts. Built by those who understand threats, for those who face them.
Everything You Need to Know
The Apex Barricade® is designed to work with the vast majority of standard commercial inward-swinging doors found in schools, offices, and government buildings. It fits doors with standard floor clearances and works with or without a door closer. Contact us with your door specs and we'll confirm compatibility.
Installation takes under 60 seconds — no tools, no drilling, and no permanent modifications to your door or frame. Any staff member can deploy it immediately during an emergency.
The Apex Barricade® is designed with ADA considerations in mind. It does not permanently alter door hardware and can be quickly removed. We recommend consulting with your facility's ADA coordinator for site-specific guidance.
