Lockdown Alarm Systems
Engineered for immediate threat response. Our lockdown systems deliver full-site alerting in under 3 seconds — purpose-built for schools, offices, healthcare, and public venues.
A-Squared Alarms designs and installs Martyn's Law-aligned lockdown systems, temporary fire alarms, and vape detection for UK schools, construction sites, and commercial premises. We make compliance achievable — not bureaucratic.
Martyn's Law is Now in Force
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act requires qualifying UK venues to have documented emergency procedures. Non-compliance carries significant penalties.
A-Squared Alarms provides Martyn's Law aligned systems, UK-wide site surveys, 24/7 UK support, PopAlert digital alerts, lockdown alarm systems, temporary fire alarm systems, and wireless intrusion protection.
UK legislation requires specific safety systems for schools, public venues, and construction sites. The organisations that act now avoid the organisations that face enforcement.
Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act
The Act uses a tiered approach for qualifying premises and events. Current guidance encourages organisations to review procedures, staff awareness, and reasonably practicable protective measures ahead of commencement.
UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018
If your system captures identifiable people, it must be used lawfully and proportionately. Clear signage, secure storage of footage, privacy considerations, and ICO registration may all be required.
CDM 2015 / Fire Safety Order
Principal contractors must manage fire risks on site, carry out suitable fire risk assessments, and provide appropriate warning and evacuation measures. Temporary fire alarm systems are often used to help meet these duties.
Every system we install is designed around your site's specific risks, your staff's operational needs, and the UK regulatory requirements that apply to your organisation.

Safety regulations differ by sector. A school has different obligations under Martyn's Law than a construction site does under CDM. We know both — and everything in between.
