Captain Kevin DeVries of Station 20 has found a new lock technology being used in his first due area and suspects these will be found in other parts of the County.
1. The key is programmed to be a master key or keyed for a single door. A computer program can change the key in about 5 seconds.
2. The small lock assembly is for the main entry door and it works off power from the building or the generator if power is out.
3. The large lock assembly is what's on all interior doors; they operate using 3 AA batteries. All lock systems need batteries changed annually.
Posted on the announcements section is a method for fire/rescue personnel to acess the lock mechanism. For additional information contact Capt. DeVries at Fire Station 20, B Shift
