RADAR Lockset - 50mm Backset - 78mm Case - Right Hand - Satin Anodised Aluminium - Mild Steel

Disability Right UK, formally RADAR, promotes a UK national scheme, whereby specially manufactured locks are fitted to toilets and can only be operated using a RADAR key
The National Key Scheme (NKS) offers disabled people independant access to locked public toilets around the country
This is a 5th generation lockset and is supplied with a 6 lever mortice lock with engraved door furniture incorporating an external indicator and emergency coin release and one blue heart comfort key
The 5th generation lock is a retrofit for existing RADAR locks so no alterations are required when replacing
It should be remembered that the RADAR lock is a basic system and is not designed as or intended for use as a high security lock
Only two hands are required, as the latch bolt can be easily reversed for inward or outward opening doors
In order to comply with BS8300 the lever handle should be fitted between 800mm and 1050mm above the floor (1000mm preferred)
The door is opened from the outside, by use of the RADAR key, when the external indicator is white. Once inside, the door is locked by lifting the lever upwards, which changes the external indicator to red. (N.B. keys will not unlock door when the indicator shows red). On exiting, the door is opened by pushing the lever down, which also returns the external indicator to white
These keys are available to disabled or registered blind people to enable them to access the facilities. This gives protection against vandalism or misuse, so that a clean functional toilet is available
