In the “2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design”, the United States Department of Justice set forth the following standards for Locker Locks to be deemed ADA Compliant:

• Shall Be operable with one hand
• Shall not require tight grasping, pinching or twisting on the wrist to operate
• Shall have a force required to activate of 5lbs (22.2N) maximum

The standard stipulates a requirement that 5% of lockers meet these ADA specifications. Compliance for school locker accessibility to those with reduced physical abilities and/or reduced cognitive abilities are all met by both the 1600 ADA series and 1700 series with ADA option built-in locker locks with the  Master Lock 1710-43959 ADA Key Head which converts the provided cut keys to meet ADA requirements for the locker lock key. The specially designed keyhead combined with the simple lock operation is what allows the Master Lock Locker Locks to be ADA Compliant.

The Master Lock 1600 ADA series includes Master Lock’s Three-Ways-To-Open™ technology

1. The student key for ADA users will open one individual lock that it is keyed to open
2. The master key, for the supervising administrator will open all ADA locks in the locker system
3. The combination dial can be used just like the non ADA 1600 series locker locks. Complete with 5 combinations for extended use of the built-in combination locker lock.
