Hi Gibbo,

You can order a key online from the RADAR website.

Go here: http://radar-shop.or...etail.aspx?id=0

RADAR also produce a guide which lists approx. 7,000 toilets fitted with the NKS lock throughout the UK. The guide is available here: http://radar-shop.or...etail.aspx?id=1

Regards

Simon.

Your local council may sell them too, normally a lot cheaper than the RADAR site, in Cambridge where I live they are £2 each from council

Knew I would not stay away!

RADAR keys can be got "Free" if you get a certificate from the doctor.

Mornin' Jilly

A RADAR key is one used in the UK to allow the disabled access to locked public lavatories specially adpated for their use only. The idea of the key is to keep you vandals and other unscrupulous beings to ensure that we can pee in peace.

What a good idea!!! Our disabled loos are open to anybody who wants to use them...I must admit even I have popped in to use one before when the other ones are all full. Thanks Gary :badmood:
