St Lucia has a lot of rental apartments and rental rooms that require specific attention to pass all the rules and regulations from council and building standards. Student Accommodation locks need to pass all the regulations for fire safety and still need to be secure. Our St Lucia locksmith understands the regulations regarding student accommodation locks and is able to advise you on the best and most cost effective security for houses and apartments.
It is not only the fire escape regulations that have to be met when you are considering the correct locks for the doors. The specific types of doors need to have locks to meet the Australian Standards for fire doors. This means that only certain locks can be fitted. Even if 2 locks look identical, with out certification the lock can not be fitted to a lot of student accommodation doors. Locks also have to be suited to the particular doors and the locks even the door frames can alter the type of locks used.
Designated fire exits of course need to have the appropriate locks fitted that pass all the building codes. It is important to fit the correct locks and keep the security of the building in tact. Not all fire escape locks offer the same level of security. Some locks are easily compromised and just not up to the task of security for students in St Lucia.
If you have a number of students coming and going in St Lucia, then the keys are going to become a problem. If the students dont return a key, then the locks should be changed, each time a new student moves into a room or apartment. They can also make copies which they can give to friends and there is no way to tell how many keys are in circulation. If you have a number of students in one building, just one copied key can be a large security risk for students.
The way to fix the problem with copied and non returned keys for student accommodation locks is to have the keys on a security key system. A registered key system will give you a higher security key and it will make sure that no extra keys can be cut. This way you know if you give out 2 keys and get 2 keys back at the end of the tenancy, there is no need to change the locks as all the keys are accounted for.
