Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for providing a locking apparatus for resisting movement of an openable element are described. The locking apparatus includes a mounting bracket, a central member, a stop plate, and a housing. The mounting bracket is couplable to the openable element. The central member is couplable to the mounting bracket and includes a body, an actuator, a lifting member coupled to the body and configured to be raise or lowered. The stop plate may be coupled to the frame of the openable element and aligned with at least a portion of the lifting member for restricting movement of the openable element when the lifting member is raised. The housing may be coupled to the mounting bracket and is generally used for aesthetic purposes. The locking apparatus may be one of a plurality of locking apparatuses grouped together for singular or group control, such as, for active shooter situations.
