Article of the Month....

  Restroom Locks?

 

This month we decided to take a look at facility security.  Namely door locks.  We took a good look at the coin / token operated door lock and its applicability.  Many different users in multiple markets utilize the coin operated door lock, most of which are using them on bathroom doors.

 

 

I never thought I would see the day were we had to secure the bathroom to keep vandals out, or did I?  Now that I think of it, even as a child I can remember having to use the bathroom on a long road trip and stopping at a filling station.  I remember always having to ask the store clerk for a key, and eventually always received a key attached to an object similar to a cinder block.   I guess this was security.  Come to think of it, I guess I just could have taken the cinder block to the car along with the key.  Somehow I just never thought of taking the key, or damaging the bathroom.

 

As times have changed so have we.  Now security is a must.  Most small business owners cannot afford to the same services they might have not batted an eyelash at 25 years ago.  Now business owners offer restroom facilities and such out of necessity, and in some locations due to mandatory laws and restrictions, they have no choice.

 

So how to we cope?  Knowing that we have to offer these facilities, but the potential profit loss from the destruction that we may face could be devastating for our business?  This is the time when we have to utilize security, namely a coin or token operated entry system.

 

There are only 2 companies on the market that offer such services.  Monarch Coin and Security,  and Nik-o-lok.  Both of these companies have been around for a long time, and offer solid products.  Nik-o-lok offers a product that is leased.  Under that agreement there is shared profit and a service plan.  The cost of which can escalate depending on the situation. 

 

Monarch offers a product that once you have purchased it, it is yours to do as you see fit.  As with any mechanical device there will be maintenance that is necessary, but with any type of mechanical ability it should not be difficult.

 

Owning such a system can offer many benefits.  By using a unit that utilizes coins, you can instantly change your facility into a profit center.  This is a quick and easy way to have the location pay for itself, while keeping out the riffraff’s.

 

For the business owner who does not wish to charge for the use of the facility, a token only model is available.  This provides the same sense of security with the ability to visual inspect each user given access to a token.

 

In the day and age that we have to lock our facilities it should be not surprise that these units tend to be damaged or misused.  The people you wish to keep from damaging your restroom have the same potential to damage your door lock, based on the fact they were denied access.  While causing aggravation and repair costs, this goes with the territory.  When purchasing a unit like this, this should be taken into consideration.

 

While coin/ token operated door locks may not be for everyone, they are growing in their popularity.  Business owners are finding that with a device like this they can prevent damage, crime, and or drug use, and make their faculties a safe and clean place for their customers.
