Summer may not be over yet, but schools are already preparing for students to be back in class. Beyond cleaning, hiring new teachers, and figuring out who's in what class come some other summer maintenance items--including resetting locker lock combinations. Resetting all the combinations in a school can be a daunting task. Why not call in an expert?
We Can Put You in Touch with Experts
We are experts when it comes to lockers themselves, but don't perform combination resets ourselves. We can put you in touch with resources and trusted third-party companies with lots of experience resetting locker lock combinations.
Most major lock producers (such as Master Lock and Zephyr) recommend changing lock combinations every summer. They have designed their locks with multiple combination settings for that reason. This prevents users from having access to lockers they used previously and is the only way to maintain their security.
The process of resetting locker lock combinations often includes:
• inspecting each locker and making minor adjustments as needed
• setting new combinations to the updated one for the new school year
• providing a new updated chart to schools with the new combinations
• supplying student assignment cards with new combinations and instructions for dialing the combination lock
• making a list of lockers in need of repair parts and giving schools a quote for that service
• dialing and checking each lock to ensure all lockers are on the correct combination for the next year's setting
Experience Counts
Most manufacturers have instructions for resetting locker lock combinations on their websites, so some schools handle this task in-house with administrative assistants or custodians. But in our opinion, you really might want to consider bringing in an expert.
David Yarbrough has been servicing lockers for almost 30 years. He has performed lock combination resets on hundreds of thousands of lockers over the course of his career. He recommends that schools hire experts because “there is a specific technique and feel for changing combos that takes years and thousands of locks to master. All locks act differently and there are little nuances that can arise that only a seasoned locker expert will have the ability to overcome. We can usually change and check the combinations of 1,000 locks in a day.”
There's enough to stress when it comes to preparing for a new school year. Let us put you in touch with experts like David who can reset the locker lock combinations in your school in a cinch. Contact us today!
