As you may be aware we have now completed the transition to electronic 'proximity' keys** as the preferred access method to our huts.
** To use, place the key close to the black boss on the door lock. Operate the handle when the LED turns green. The mechanism will automatically reset the lock once the handle is operated or will time out after a few seconds. An amber LED indicates a misread and a red LED that a key that is not valid for the door.
The locks are battery operated. Should the batteries become faulty or run down then the time taken for the lock to operate will increase. This should be reported to the hut custodian.
This new system offers administrative advantages (lost/stolen keys can be disabled) and economic advantages (no need to replace worn out or damaged locks and all the keys).
If you already have an old style metal key then the cost is £10 to upgrade.
If you don’t already have an old style metal key, then the cost of a first electronic key is £16.
Replacement keys are £10. Please note, if a key is replaced the original will cease to work.
All prices include postage
