Intruder Lock Function
The Intruder Lock and Key provides a quick and easy way to secure classroom and instructional room doors from the inside during an emergency. This simple yet vital tool empowers faculty and staff to protect themselves and their students by locking doors without leaving the room.
By implementing this measure, Nova Southeastern University is taking a significant step toward enhancing campus safety and reinforcing our commitment to creating a secure learning environment.
The Intruder Lock
The Intruder Lock is keyed on both sides. When your Intruder Key is turned from the inside, it secures the outside handle. The inside will always remain unlocked, allowing all occupants to exit the room at any time.
Every Intruder Lock is clearly marked on the inside to help you secure the door in case of an emergency. If you notice the labels are coming off or damaged, please report it to your supervisor.
The Intruder Key
The Intruder Key is larger than a normal key and it is only utilized to secure an Intruder Lock from the inside of the room. The Intruder Key will not operate any door from outside of the room. Operation of Lock and Key
- To operate the Intruder Lock, insert your Intruder Key and follow the arrows, a full 360°, then remove your key.
- The outside handle will now be locked and the room is secured.
- Remember to always keep your Intruder Key on you, as an emergency could occur at any time.
