LOCK SHOP
SCOPE AND PURPOSE
To establish policies and implement procedures pertaining to lock and key or other access control for SOU facilities, to assign responsibility for authorizing the issuance of keys, and to implement procedures for the control of keys which have been issued. The institution seeks to achieve maximum security for persons relying on building locking systems for their own safety and for State and other property for which SOU is responsible. Each person to whom a key is issued must accept the key as his/her personal responsibility.
MAINTENANCE
The Lock Shop is funded for repair and maintenance of all lock and door hardware on campus, and is the sole source for duplicating, manufacturing, or cutting of any keys to SOU facilities or equipment. No activity by external locksmiths is permitted on campus.
RESPONSIBILITY
Individuals are responsible for picking up, signing for, controlling, and returning all keys assigned in their name. Keys intended for use by students must be signed out to, monitored by, and returned by a faculty or staff member.
KEY REQUESTS
Departments must submit to FMP a key request card signed by the Department Chair and the appropriate Building Manager. Keys are normally ready to be picked up within 24 hours of receiving the key request card. The requester or department will be notified when the key is ready.
