Securitech’s PEDs (Automatic Deadbolting Locking System) was first introduced to protect NYC Transit token booth workers and installed throughout the entire transit system. It was later deployed in USPS facilities to provide automatic locking and safeguard employees. In 2000, PEDs made history as the first lock to pass FEMA testing for windstorm and tornado resistance, cementing its role as a groundbreaking solution in high-security and life-safety applications.
