The objective of the NKS Locks is to ensure that public toilets are available to the disabled free from misuse and vandalism, to ensure a certain level of hygiene is maintained.
The National Key Scheme offers disabled people independent access to locked public toilets around the country. Toilets fitted with National Key Scheme locks can now be found in shopping centres, pubs, cafes, department stores, bus and train stations and many other locations in most parts of the country.
The scheme offers the opportunity to extend these standards to disabled toilets within public buildings, offices etc. It is hoped that the flexibility of design now offered by the NKS range will encourage architects and facility management companies to extend its range of use ensuring keyed access only to disabled toilets providing designed benefits to architects and improvements in both security and hygiene to facility maintenance companies.
BS 83002001 states “Some disabled people need to use a toilet more frequently than other users, making it desirable that accessible toilets are not made generally available to the public. Whether disabled people have exclusive use of an accessible toilet or are given priority use is a facilities management issue”.
The National Key Scheme guide is a written guide to the 9,000 NKS toilets and local services throughout the UK. Providers of toilets for disabled people fit NKS locks to keep their facilities in good condition.
Over 25 years the Scheme has been adopted by 400+ local authorities and many transport, retail and leisure providers.This valuable resource is the only guide of its kind and really does open doors to independent living.
Also available is a smartphone App allowing you to Instantly locate your nearest toilet facility and get directions by road, bus or foot.
