| RADAR National Key Scheme:
Some authorities now limit the access to their public conveniences to prevent
vandalism, by fitting a standard lock opened by a special key. The scheme means that the same key can be used to open accessible toilets throughout the country normally allowing 24hr access. Keys are usually available from local authorities or direct from RADAR, who co-ordinate the scheme, at a cost of £3.50 on declaration of disability, or £4.11 without declaration.A list of toilets fitted with the locks is forwarded with each key ordered.
