Key Request

The university maintains a control system for university keys and locks. The purpose of the system is to provide maximum security in the buildings and for secured areas within the university.

Only personnel in the department of Physical Plant have the authority to install locks or locking devices on university facilities.

Only personnel in the department of Physical Plant have the authority to cut and issue keys for university facilities. Duplication of keys is strictly prohibited.

To request a key:

The issuing department must prepare a Key Request Form (via PAWS), being sure to include the following information:

1. All key requests must be presented to the Customer Service Center, 065 Allyn Hall.
2. If the key request document is properly authorized, the Customer Service Center will have the key(s) produced. The Customer Service Center will call you when your key is ready for pick-up, usually within three working days of the request.
