What Is
The Boot®?
The Boot® is a door barricade designed to impede doorway entry. It is a rectangular shaped plate with 7/8 inch thick cold-rolled steel pins. When fully engaged into the steel floor sleeves, it can withstand 16,000 pounds of force. Weighing 4.89 pound, The Boot® is small but mighty when stopping danger from breaching a door.

Why use a Secondary Door Barricade?
While heavy steel doors and deadbolt locks are a strong deterrent to most attackers, The Boot® provides extra protection in case a threat makes a purposeful effort to enter a room. Even the strongest door locks can be breached by firing into them. In these scenarios, The Boot® is there to impede and potentially completely halt room access. For buildings without heavy doors and locks, The Boot® provides a cost-effective way to barricade interior doors.
Powerful Protection, Egress Friendly
Once deployed, The Boot® remains locked in place until disengaged from inside the room. In extreme cases, safety officers or emergency personnel can utilize a patented release mechanism to enter and secure a room. This patented technology allows officers to enter the room in seconds.
Safety officers and emergency responders trust The Boot®. In fact, The Boot® is the ONLY product of this distinction ever endorsed by the Michigan Sheriff’s Association and several additional law enforcement entities.
Compatible with nearly any door
Throughout a building, doors vary in style, swing, and material. The Boot® is designed to work on a variety of doors, providing a consistent level of security between rooms. The Boot Strap attachment enables The Boot® to secure rooms with inward opening doors.
