Family inside home during storm emergency — Barricada Co

The Process

SECURITY THAT
STARTS BEFORE
THE EMERGENCY.

Most security products alert you after something has already gone wrong. Barricada Co is built differently — designed to create time, separation, communication, and control when seconds matter most.

SLOW THE THREAT. CONNECT THE PEOPLE INSIDE. BUY TIME TO PROTECT WHAT MATTERS MOST.

The Full Process

8 STEPS TO REAL PROTECTION

01

Choose Your Protection Level

Every property is different, so BarricadaCo starts with the right fit.

We help you identify the best option based on the type of property, entry points that need reinforcement, residential or commercial use, desired security features, smart integration needs, existing alarm or camera systems, and budget and installation requirements.

"Our flagship product, the BCO1, is designed for customers who want more than a standard door, lock, alarm, or camera. It is protection that becomes part of the space."

02

Site Assessment

Before anything is installed, we review the space.

This allows us to look at door placement, frame conditions, access points, wall structure, electrical needs, communication points, and possible integration options. The goal is to make sure your BCO1 system fits properly, functions correctly, and supports the way you actually use the property.

Door size and location
Installation requirements
Frame and wall conditions
Smart access options
Door-to-door communication points
Intercom or communication upgrades
Alarm system compatibility
Existing camera or security system integration
Interior design preferences

"This step helps prevent surprises and makes sure the final result feels intentional, not forced."

03

Design & Feature Selection

Once the assessment is complete, we help you select the features that make sense for your property.

This is where BCO1 becomes more than a door. Two features set it apart from everything else on the market.

Reinforced security door system
Smart access compatibility
Battery backup options
Alarm integration possibilities
Modern finish and design selections
Residential or commercial configuration

DOOR-TO-DOOR LOCKDOWN COMMUNICATION

BCO1 doors can be configured to communicate with each other — room to room, floor to floor, office to back room. During a lockdown, the people inside are not isolated and guessing. One protected space can speak directly to another. Coordinate. Confirm. Stay connected while the threat is outside.

INTEGRATED EMERGENCY STORAGE

The BCO1 interior cabinet includes optional concealed compartments for emergency essentials — first-aid supplies, communication equipment, flashlights, backup power, water, documents, and more. Everything you need is already behind the door when you need it most. No running to another room. No searching in the dark.

"Strong should still look clean."

04

Integration With Current Systems

BarricadaCo is not designed to replace every system you already have. It is designed to strengthen them.

Our system can be planned around existing security setups, including current alarm systems, camera systems, intercoms, access control, and smart-home technology where compatible.

Cameras record activity
Alarms notify authorities or monitoring services
Smart systems help control access
Intercoms support communication
BCO1 adds a physical layer of protection

"The difference is that BarricadaCo adds something many systems do not provide: a barrier that helps buy time."

05

Build & Preparation

After the design and specifications are approved, your BCO1 system is prepared for installation.

BarricadaCo focuses on American-made construction, clean design, smart integration, and functional protection. Each system is built with the goal of adding a physical layer of defense while maintaining a professional, finished appearance. This is where the product moves from concept to real-world protection.

06

Professional Installation

Installation is handled through qualified installation partners or approved professionals.

This helps ensure the product is properly mounted, aligned, secured, and tested. Because the BCO1 is more than a standard door, proper installation matters.

Door fit and swing
Frame connection
Locking function
Smart access setup
Intercom or low-voltage wiring
Door-to-door communication setup
Alarm or security system compatibility
Emergency storage configuration
Final safety check

"The goal is simple: the system should look right, work right, and be ready when needed."

07

Walkthrough & Use

After installation, you receive a full walkthrough of how the system works.

We want every customer to understand how to use the BCO1 confidently before an emergency ever happens.

"Security only works if the people using it understand it."

08

Ongoing Support

BarricadaCo is built for long-term protection, not one-time transactions.

After installation, support options may be available for maintenance, upgrades, additional doors, smart integrations, communication upgrades, and future product add-ons. As your property changes, your security can grow with it.

Time to communicate door to door.

Time to protect employees.

Real-World Scenarios

THE THREAT DOESN'T
ALWAYS KNOCK.

Home invasions are one scenario. Natural disasters, grid failures, and civil unrest are others. BCO1 is designed for all of them.

Wildfire

THE ROAD OUT IS GONE. FIRE IS CLOSE. YOUR ROOM IS THE REFUGE.

When evacuation routes are blocked and emergency services are overwhelmed, your interior becomes your only option. BCO1 creates a reinforced separation point — buying time for first responders to reach you.

Avg. wildfire evacuation window: under 15 minutes

Grid Failure

72 HOURS. NO POWER. NO SIGNAL. WHAT STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND THEM?

Extended blackouts disable alarms, cameras, and smart locks. BCO1's optional battery backup keeps your door operational and your communication lines active — even when the grid is down.

FEMA recommends 72-hour self-sufficiency preparedness

Hurricane / Severe Storm

THE STORM DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DEADBOLT. WE DO.

High-wind events and storm surges can compromise standard entry points. BCO1's reinforced frame and door system is designed to maintain structural integrity under pressure — keeping the outside out.

Category 3+ winds exceed 111 mph — standard doors are not rated for that

Civil Unrest

WHEN THE STREET COMES TO YOUR DOOR — WILL IT HOLD?

During periods of civil unrest, response times increase and threats become unpredictable. BCO1 creates physical separation and door-to-door communication so your household can coordinate and stay protected without exposure.

Average police response time during civil unrest: 30+ minutes

Statistics cited are sourced from publicly available government and law enforcement data. BCO1 performance varies by configuration, installation, and conditions. No security system guarantees absolute protection. Barricada Co makes no warranty of specific outcomes.

Important Product Notice

Product features, configurations, compatibility, operating time, resistance characteristics, and available options may vary. BarricadaCo products are intended to supplement — not replace — professional security systems, emergency planning, safe storage practices, fire protection, evacuation procedures, or first-responder services. No product can prevent every intrusion, injury, loss, or emergency outcome. Installation must be performed according to applicable building, fire, electrical, accessibility, and safety requirements. Performance claims apply only where expressly supported by identified testing, specifications, and installation conditions. Firearm-storage configurations, where available, must be used in accordance with all applicable storage laws and are not represented as a California DOJ-approved firearm safety device or qualifying gun safe unless specifically certified and identified as such. Backup-power runtime varies based on configuration, battery capacity, usage, temperature, and connected equipment. System integration with third-party alarms, cameras, intercoms, or smart-home platforms depends on equipment, provider, wiring, and installation configuration — compatibility must be confirmed for each project. Website images, renderings, and descriptions may include conceptual or optional features and do not constitute guarantees of performance.
