@@thecriscokidd290 no we wouldnt. people scan their face every day with iphones they walk around posting on social media they clock their every move with digital purchases. they are totally desensitized. all those parents in america gave their kids phones at age 5. elementary schools have big metal doors with card readers, and every single door has locks. same for most high schools. also some schools dont have lockers here either or have had and been removed from neglect
As a Senior in high school here on LI it’s kinda sad seeing masterlock lockers being phased out because they feel like a staple to everyone’s high school experience, even if you didn’t you them, just their presence being there is what made it feel like a high school.
At my high school the only way to get in our school was with our school ids. If you didn’t bring them you’d have to sign in at the office and they would keep track of how many times you forgot to bring your id. The only down side I see to this, at the moment, is kids forgetting their ids at home and not being able to get into their lockers. Or the power going out/glitching. If the power went out they wouldn’t be able to get into them and as we all know electrics aren’t always the most reliable. They may not open or lock when they are supposed too. But even with that I think this is a cool idea.
@@GodronATX If you forgot your ID too many times they mostly just give kids lunch detention where you’d have to sit at a certain table where teachers could see you and you had to check in with them. They were pretty lenient about it and I never had to worry about it. Also most kids that forgot their IDs would just walk in the door with another student who has their ID. You only needed one to unlock the door and most kids would just yell “hold the door” and they would so you could get in.
it was the same at my school someone stole my wallet this was the first time i didn't have my id and i got detention my mom even called the day before to tell them it was stolen and they didnt care i was so mad
that's actually what you would want though, is the kids to forget it because after that one time of them not being able to get into their locker for the day, they'll make sure not to forget it again and that builds the sense of responsibility and matureness that they need. Also to your worry about the power, it's regulation for most schools to have backup generators in case of power outages which do happen occasionally so I'm sure even with that the kids would still be able to get into their lockers.
My highschool did the same. Only issur is that some people got away wearing other studen ids. Some teachers were chill and others eould get mad and send yoh to the office
So now all you need is a Flipper Zero ($169.00) and a few seconds with a student's ID to get complete access to their locker...as well as any other system that uses it. Usually the "smart" option is a lot less secure.
You don’t need a flipper zero, just an rfid scanner. I’ve seen some that go for under $20 online, and if you go to a flea market or some old tech establishment you can get a decent one for pocket change
That comment really surprised me. It makes me wonder what the city does with all the Federal and city school tax funding ! I think they said Baldwin H.S. had lockers since at least the 50's and the Junior H.S. (7th & 8th grade) always had them too. I'm convinced some sort of racket or embezzling must have been going on.
@rowdyjr2318I enjoyed slamming mine really hard to make a point 😂 also going around to lockers and kicking them to see which one will open 😂 did it all in middle school we’d kick the bottom and tug and some would open 😅 oh the times of lockers
I'm in my first year of middle school right now. At open house you can buy a used lock for $3 or a brand new lock for $6. (I got the used lock.) and you can use the same lock until you end 8th grade. The thing about that is teachers told us on the first day that locks weren't necessary and that most people just take their lock home or turn them into the office after a couple weeks. turns out it was different this year and only one person I know actually hated their lock. (However a lot of people just hated the lock in general and stopped using it.) Our generation just likes being secure I guess. Unlike yours (Mostly). And unlike you I don't think I'm going to be quitting my lock or locker anytime soon.
@@M33VR oh bro i loved my first year of middle school stuff was just so simple no drama until i reached 7th grade sadly 🥲i'm in 8th now and i'm finishing this year off strong but that's crazy y'all had to pay for lockers we got ours for free but we only used our gym lockers but i only used mine for my dance stuff like my shirts leggings and deodorant and other stuff so bcs of covid we don't use the outside lockers anymore but yeah i also hated the lockers bcs i would forget the code to mine 😭
I never used my locker due to the time in between classes being so short at 3 minutes. My siblings mentioned that they can actually break into other people's lockers by just pulling the lock really hard.
This is a great idea to use RFID cards as locker keys. Generally, they probably won't be as durable as the 60 year old lockers that came before them. But, it's a big improvement. When I was in high school, we could leave for lunch and the period was only 40 minutes. I remember dialing in my combination as fast as possible, since every minute counted.
What if you forget to bring your card? What if you lose it or someone steals it? That's a lot more likely than forgetting your code, unless you have a terrible memory.
Most schools already have some form of ID issued to students. In my HS, we couldn't get into the cafeteria without swiping it. If you lose it, they can just use a master key and issue a new card.
My 7th grader tells me she only puts her winter coat in her locker- we are 1-1 devices they carry that all day long. She has 2 binders (am/pm) but no textbooks. If they use a textbook it is online access. I'm not sure why they even need lockers now. We had to have textbooks for every class but 5 star notebooks.
I never had a locker in middle school in Brooklyn or high school... All we had was medal detectors, x-ray baggage check machines, and soda vending machines. These kids are privileged because my sons Brooklyn's school still doesn't have lockers. These are some privileged students of all races and nationalities.
I went to this H.S. many years ago. Most of the household have hard working parents who pay very high property tax. I'm actually surprised that Baldwin got these before R.V.C which is an incorporated village. The neighborhood has nice houses and beautiful quiet streets, but the main Ave. is kind of beat up.
Its a little disrespectful to call these students "privileged" because they got an upgrade in security measures to deter school shootings and theft, something boomers didn't have to deal with as drastically as we do now, considering guns are significantly easier to get then back then. Instead of calling them privileged, why don't we appreciate Long Island for taking steps to protecting kids from shootings? This should be the norm, not the special.
@@fxdefiancy How are lockers protecting school shootings rather than those lockers being housing areas for drugs and guns? Why didn't the school show metal detectors and x-ray bag machines like every other New York inner city school throughout the 5 Boros? We get tools to prevent crime while other schools get luxury items for students... Something is not right here as it sounds like a huge waste of money and resources but it is to be used as a taking point for what makes the school better than other schools.
I had this in my middle school , 10 years ago in Michigan . They took these lockers away because it being electronic caused so many issues. These lockers also are easy to jam. If they lose power, you got to wait for each locker to be pried open by crowbar
Holy s#%t I'm glad I went to this school a long time ago because the other comments complaining they never had lockers have terrible grammar and spelling.
There must have been some racket and embezzling going on in the city schools. Even with the Federal and City funding you'd think they would do some sort of auditing at one time or another. Something fishy going on for sure.
@@carlo_cali there were literally lockers in the video being removed. They probably werent allowed to yuse them or something because they already had lockers which they admit the students didnt use. so why spend a million dollars to make this crap? probably money laundering to chinese manufacturing.
@@Fish-cj4ub I think it said they hadn't been using those lockers was because of Covid and school closings. I visited my mother very often from late July and August to October or early November. I did see some kids at the bagel shop by the school, but the school had probably been closed for at least eighteen months prior to that so yeah, they weren't being used and once the school did open back up I'd imagine precautions didn't allow for the regular use of them. A school like that needs lockers for a nine period day; I can't imagine a kid having to shlep around all day with all books and gatherings and garments in the cold weather.
That is so cool!! When I was in school for high school that I had to remembered 2 locker combinations one for my locker in the hallway and another one for P.E. I still use combination locks at the YMCA for one locker and another one for my clothes and my bag. I have different color locks one blue and the other one pink. Just liked my key chains one blue and the other one pink.
I go to this high school and I would say I like this feature but to be honest I don't use my locker. It's far from all my classes,I only went once this year on my lunch period cause I wanted to see where it was
What happens when students inevitably lose the key or leave it at home? Or if it is stolen. The older lockers avoided these problems. I am in favor of progress but it has to make sense.
What happens when the power cuts off? Will the items be locked up inside? There is no "key" to open the locker manually if these electronic locks fail... Is it very wise?
most schools have back up generators for cases of lost power. most likely they would allow kids to grab their items to take home if necessary while the generators keep the locker's running.
The high school I teach at in California got rid of all their lockers, and students just carry everything in backpacks to and from home. Unfortunately, all the backpacks sit all over the classroom floor so people trip over them. And ID cards are required for students to get on campus. If they lost or forgot it, they have to report to the office to get a temporary card, and they’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do. I haven’t heard of any plans to put in a new locker system. I don’t know if it’s just a district-wide policy or if it’s the same all over the state.
This sucks for a lot of poor neighborhoods because they can get these high tech thing is what other schools are still using the same books from 20 years ago. And the school is proud of this? Proud that they’re taking opportunities away from other kids.
They should have wasted the money on employing a person to scan every textbook over the summer break into PDF format so kids don't have to share the same textbooks and eliminate the excuses of why a child could not do the work in school or at home and would eliminate paper waste and deforestation. It would also save the children as it would solve the back issues they face when carrying heavy books around all day. IT NKT AS IF SCHOOLS UPGRADE THEIR TEXT BIOKS YEARLY AS I HAD A 2-YEAR-OLD TEXTBOOK WHE. I WAS IN SCHOOL IN THE 90S AND MY KIDS USE SIMILAR BOOKS NKW THAT ARE 10 YEARS BEHIND IN DATE.
What a coincidence… we’ve got something similar here in Moorhead, MN! Right now we’ve got it at the Career Academy, and it’ll also be at the new High School. So technically you’re not the first in the nation in that, you guys are the second
The smart lockers is a very smart idea for renovation, but in the case a nerd or someone with straight A's gets bullied and their id card gets confiscated away from them forcefully by another student, the bullies can use the id card to access the other students locker and get access to study sheets that can be used for cheating.
Screw doing it by force. Dude, if these were employed at my HS, I'd 100% make a high-power [and thus long range, perhaps a meter or so w line of sight] RFID cloner. Pre-amp, battery, modem would fit nicely in a backpack. I also woulda considered hacking the school's locker control sys. Likely a SCADA system. Back in the day, I alr had access to the computers that controlled my HS' security camera network. Same computers would likely control lockers.
@@user-ejxomyq ok? Obviously that doesn’t apply to every single school my guy… there are millions of schools. but its definitely not like how it used to be
Seems way more pricey than good ol' keys or combination lockers. Gotta replace the reader too every few years and that co$t a few bucks. Would have been better to spend that money on supplies or more teachers.
We had lockers in high school but I dont think anyone even uses it. The lockers were inconvenient to meet up to retrieve our books, food, items by time breaks were over
it’s cool but so easy to get into, smash the front and it will open, assuming they use rfid since it seemed kind of cheap for 1600 lockers you can copy that rfid and repeat it back, tools such as the flipper zero could easily get into those
Luckily my middleschool gave me the experience of lockers for all 3 years, because when I was going to my Highschool, they stopped using them entirely... then after my freshman year, we got moved to a new building and they had no lockers at all. which was a big bummer for me, but atleast I got my 3 years with them
thats honestly kinda stupid i mean its very easy for someone to buy a hacking device like a flipper zero to emulate the card so they can open your locker anytime they want.
As someone who has been in the tech business for over 20 years i have to say ACS aka Access Control Systems are great. My only concern here is with any large deployments which is redundancy, verified daily backups and security. With the world we live in today and the lack of procedures done by many I wouldn't be shocked to see reports of the school being shut down due or locked out with the ACS from improper use, management and security. Some leaders push to open doors in the tech industry to lower the burdens of complexity and this will need to stop. Secure the deployment, have the system externally and internally tested by 3rd party pen testers then come up with a policy based on the highest level of security you can implement. Force everyone to follow said policy and never relax security for anyone.
Just curious, why perform a pentest against a locker access system? I think there are greater risks to a school's information systems than a loss of availability/inappropriate access to lockers.
@@guitarguy-rv4eythe reason for this is to neutralize any potential vulnerabilities, especially black-hat hackers wanting to steal any valuables that’s worth pawning off for a quick few hundred dollars
My high school used to have lockers during my Dad's time, but then they removed them when I entered high school. I don't know why, probably to prevent weapons or drugs?
Someone broke into my locker and stole my race shoes ( i was in cross country, race shoes were shoes you only wore for racing they were a vary thin shoe that helped keep u moving ) coach said i couldn't race😔
It is kinda sad seeing these gone since its so nostalgic. Glad for the change for the kids though since I remember it was annoying af to stand there and punch in the codes.
Never had to use a locker ever. One school bag for "A-day" classes, one bag for "B-day" classes. No need for cramming into a tiny locker. If i had to use the lockers id be late to many classes as they were always a decent walk across campus. I however think though, what if a student A lost an ID at school, then student B grabs their ID and opens their locker and steals stuff. Yes cameras exist but it is a possible issue. High tech doesn't mean better. Just more flaws. What if the "locker ID reader" fails? The ol' turning style lock is the best imo
This just proves that they mismanage money, Almost a million dollars for lockers! Imagine how many students that money could have helped if used for scholarships or equipment.
I remember having my locker broken into once and that was the last time I used one I would just bring my bag with me to every class whether the teacher liked it or not
I dont know how big the high school is but most high schools use laptops anyway but i never used my locker it just seen so out of the way to get to it being in the university center of my building its like a 5 minute walk to my assigned locker just seems like a waste
I think lower merion school district should upgrade to the smart lockers. Sure they'll have a few technical glitches here and there but, they'll make up for it

Oh, cool! I only live about an hour away from Moorhead,, MN! I'm just across the river in North Dakota!
The smart lockers is a very smart idea for renovation, but in the case a nerd or someone with straight A's gets bullied and their id card gets confiscated away from them forcefully by another student, the bullies can use the id card to access the other students locker and get access to study sheets that can be used for cheating.
Oddly specific I doubt this would happen
Screw doing it by force. Dude, if these were employed at my HS, I'd 100% make a high-power [and thus long range, perhaps a meter or so w line of sight] RFID cloner. Pre-amp, battery, modem would fit nicely in a backpack.
I also woulda considered hacking the school's locker control sys. Likely a SCADA system. Back in the day, I alr had access to the computers that controlled my HS' security camera network. Same computers would likely control lockers.
You can break into a locker the old fashioned way. With pliers.
Which movie was this in 🤔
lol you mean someone's going to get a nfc scanner and make a copy of anyone's card.
My son's high school in Arizona doesn't even have lockers. You have to carry everything in your backpack all day.
im just gonna assume that 80% of highschoolers only use their locker a couple times a year
Yup. We dont live in the 2000s and before anymore. Gym lockers are the only thing used anymore
@@6z0 wdym? my school has lockers and everyone uses em
@@user-ejxomyq ok? Obviously that doesn’t apply to every single school my guy… there are millions of schools. but its definitely not like how it used to be
Seems way more pricey than good ol' keys or combination lockers. Gotta replace the reader too every few years and that co$t a few bucks. Would have been better to spend that money on supplies or more teachers.
We had lockers in high school but I dont think anyone even uses it. The lockers were inconvenient to meet up to retrieve our books, food, items by time breaks were over
flipperzero depending how they lock them its possible for a student to open them all
it’s cool but so easy to get into, smash the front and it will open, assuming they use rfid since it seemed kind of cheap for 1600 lockers you can copy that rfid and repeat it back, tools such as the flipper zero could easily get into those
In Grammar and High School I could never figure out my combination so I had to get a locker without a combination locker and bring a key lock 🔐.
Luckily my middleschool gave me the experience of lockers for all 3 years, because when I was going to my Highschool, they stopped using them entirely...
then after my freshman year, we got moved to a new building and they had no lockers at all. which was a big bummer for me, but atleast I got my 3 years with them
@1:28 why they have that old relic walking down the hallway
Hey the real fun in lock was wining the locker lottery either you got a 1/3 size locker or a 1/2 size locker
Never had any lockers growing up in Brooklyn
My high school in Sweden has had it for Over ten years
I used to write my combo in reverse order on the wall. Never to worry about forgetting the numbers.
thats honestly kinda stupid i mean its very easy for someone to buy a hacking device like a flipper zero to emulate the card so they can open your locker anytime they want.
As someone who has been in the tech business for over 20 years i have to say ACS aka Access Control Systems are great. My only concern here is with any large deployments which is redundancy, verified daily backups and security. With the world we live in today and the lack of procedures done by many I wouldn't be shocked to see reports of the school being shut down due or locked out with the ACS from improper use, management and security. Some leaders push to open doors in the tech industry to lower the burdens of complexity and this will need to stop. Secure the deployment, have the system externally and internally tested by 3rd party pen testers then come up with a policy based on the highest level of security you can implement. Force everyone to follow said policy and never relax security for anyone.
Just curious, why perform a pentest against a locker access system? I think there are greater risks to a school's information systems than a loss of availability/inappropriate access to lockers.
@@guitarguy-rv4eythe reason for this is to neutralize any potential vulnerabilities, especially black-hat hackers wanting to steal any valuables that’s worth pawning off for a quick few hundred dollars
Baldwin yup makes sense.
the intro makes it look like theirs a camera on the inside, neat
what happen if the back up power do not work
Flipper ones are gonna be easy to use
What about kids who forget their id? Also my school kept cutting the lock n ziptiying my locker and went several times to the offices
My high school used to have lockers during my Dad's time, but then they removed them when I entered high school. I don't know why, probably to prevent weapons or drugs?
Someone broke into my locker and stole my race shoes ( i was in cross country, race shoes were shoes you only wore for racing they were a vary thin shoe that helped keep u moving ) coach said i couldn't race😔
In a power outage, will the doors all lock or unlock?
please explain how if something happens they can unlock or lock the lockers, how does that benefit anything.
It is kinda sad seeing these gone since its so nostalgic. Glad for the change for the kids though since I remember it was annoying af to stand there and punch in the codes.
How is it a security upgrade and what can opening or closing the lockers even do during an actual threat?
"havent used lockers in years" decides to dump thousands of dollars into useless upgrades
Exactly it's f**king stupid.
1 million dollars for WHAT
we dont even use the lockers in our school 💀
Same😭
Breaks all of a sudden, has to wait 3 days for maintenance to get my books and gym clothes back
Most of the schools I’ve been in, the students do not even use their assigned lockers.
Never had to use a locker ever. One school bag for "A-day" classes, one bag for "B-day" classes. No need for cramming into a tiny locker. If i had to use the lockers id be late to many classes as they were always a decent walk across campus.
I however think though, what if a student A lost an ID at school, then student B grabs their ID and opens their locker and steals stuff. Yes cameras exist but it is a possible issue. High tech doesn't mean better. Just more flaws. What if the "locker ID reader" fails? The ol' turning style lock is the best imo
I don’t know how many times I forgot my combination to get into my locker.
here on the west coast we don't even have any lockers
I had locker throughout middle school and high school never used it
They should of donated them to a county in need. There are tons of kids in other parts of the world that would of loved these things
Nice dystopia
That is so weird, but is anybody going to talk about the student that lost their homework in their locker. That’s crazy.😂
Henry Danger ahh lockers
Bigger and better. I wouldn’t say bigger but definitely better cause they went from a top to bottom locker to a half locker
America: "oh wow cool stuff very shiny"
Other countries: "old news, you're late"
It’s sad that 3 #’s confuse teenagers. Make no mistake, that information, when you swipe in/swipe out goes somewhere….
This is great! Next school to do this needs to do is get rid of those weird green and red flashing lights though. 🙃
This just proves that they mismanage money, Almost a million dollars for lockers! Imagine how many students that money could have helped if used for scholarships or equipment.
Man I wish I had my own personal locker during HS😭😮💨 I only had one for PE💀💀
I never used my locker in high school😂
As someone who comes from spain, where we dot use lockers, this too me isnt ''super high tech'' but ya know.
Never thought about that being a thing, that’s pretty cool
I’m in college now tho sooooo
They look cool. Hope the educators are paid well and the new lockers improve student achievement since they are paying all this money for lockers.
Long island teachers all make 6 figures within 5 years..
Ok but those old lockers were sticks, how’d anything fit in there?
I remember having my locker broken into once and that was the last time I used one I would just bring my bag with me to every class whether the teacher liked it or not
💪🏽 put a smile on my face. Invest in our schools
I thought pretty much all electronic locks could be broken into with a simple magnet?
We not talking about what happened when power is off for weeks
God forbid there be a kid with a flipper
Why do you need a upgraded locker what benefits do they have? .. the education system should change
This is way better!!!!🙌🙌
My only question is would these lockers still work if there’s a power outage??
Or if a kid loses his card?
And it would probably be pretty easy for someone to hack into their systems and open all of them, not very smart.
1:45 these students had beer wowee
anyone with a flipperzero gonna hit some devious licks now
I wish my school had those
I dont know how big the high school is but most high schools use laptops anyway but i never used my locker it just seen so out of the way to get to it being in the university center of my building its like a 5 minute walk to my assigned locker just seems like a waste
This is cool, but of all school upgrades you can invest in.................. this?
This addresses an inconvenience. Not a need.
I think lower merion school district should upgrade to the smart lockers. Sure they'll have a few technical glitches here and there but, they'll make up for it
All right big brother can lock and unlock your lockers
