School Lockout: Authorization and door function come first in Washington, DC
A classroom, office, exterior entrance, utility room, and secured storage area may each have different access restrictions. We verify the responsible contact and the intended function of the opening before service.
School Lockout: Preserve the school master-key system
Many school cylinders are part of a managed hierarchy. Any follow-up rekeying, core replacement, or cylinder change should maintain the approved master-key relationships and key-control policies.
School Lockout: Authorized school facility dealing with a locked door
Call through the school’s authorized facilities or administrative contact. We will keep the service tied to the specific opening and preserve the intended key and door function.
School Lockout: Classroom and exit hardware should not be improvised
Some school doors use specialized classroom functions, electrified hardware, or panic devices. A lockout should not be resolved by leaving the door with an incorrect function or bypassed safety hardware.
School Lockout: Provide hardware and facilities information
Photos, lock brand or core type, door number, building wing, and facilities contact help define the service. If the issue is electronic access rather than the mechanical lock, identify the access-control administrator as well.
School Lockout FAQs
Can a teacher call directly to open any school door?
Access should be authorized through the school or property representative responsible for that opening.
Can you keep the lock on the existing master key?
If cylinder work is required, the current hierarchy should be documented so authorized master-key operation can be maintained.
What if the door uses panic hardware or electronic access?
Tell us before dispatch. Those systems require a different service approach from a standard keyed classroom lock.
