Upgrading master key systems accessibility

There are two steps we recommend when upgrading master key systems to improve compliance to the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995.

Step 1: If your system has 'TS' or 'TP' stamped on the key

You can order new keys with the 'accessible keyfobs' and we guarantee that these will operate within your existing masterkey hierarchy.

These keyfobs use 60% less force to operate the lock than normal keyfobs and significantly improve one of the major problems encountered when opening locked doors. For a full list of Tigris accessible lockcases and keys look here.

Step 2: Get an assessment from a good Architectural Ironmonger or Locksmith

Because door construction is so variable it is impossible to provide general recommendations that exactly fit your circumstances.

A good Architectural Ironmonger or Locksmith will take a number of factors into consideration including how the integrity of the door will change with different courses of action. They will also be able to advise on other compliance areas such as the use of door closers & door furniture.

We can recommend a good Architectural Ironmonger or Locksmith in your area just e-mail enquiries@access2.com or contact us on 0191-215-0530.
