A Master Authorization keycard is sufficient to make an Emergency Reset keycard to
invalidate a lost or stolen Emergency keycard. However, since only the General Manager
Authorization (GMA) keycard can replace an Emergency keycard, there must always be
a GMA keycard available to authorized personnel.
The GMA keycard is also the only keycard that can invalidate a lost or stolen GMA
keycard, by encoding a new GMA keycard with the same number as the missing keycard,
and swiping it in all FDUs on the property.
Two spare GMA keycards with different Authorization numbers from any other GMA
on the property should be kept in a safe for use in emergencies,
such as the need to
perform a Hotel Restart, to audit the FDU, or to set FDU features.
9.3.2
The Mechanical Override Option
Some people view a key override as a poor feature for a keycard access control system.
Why should the system allow a mechanical key to override the need for a keycard? Some
users prefer an override option in the event of damaged or failed electronics.
Locks have an optional high-security removable-core cylinder override for the following
reasons:
x
Access is assured even if the electronics do not work.
x
The override is virtually pickproof.
x
Access can be tightly restricted (key blanks are factory restricted).
x
Even the use of the override key is audited in the lock.
x
In the unlikely event of a lost key, cylinders can be removed and re-pinned.
Some security and safety precautions should be taken with the mechanical override:
x
The override key should not circulate. It should always be available, with a
signature, to an authorized person on each shift for use in an emergency. After
use, the override key must be secured again.
x
All override keys, the cylinder change key, and the cylinders should be strictly
controlled. Kaba Ilco keeps a small stock of spare keys and cylinders so it is not
necessary for the property to keep any spares which could be stolen or misused.
The cylinder of a defective lock removed from a door should be removed and
installed immediately in the replacement lock. Any spare cylinder should be
well secured.
x
Report any loss of keys or cylinders to Kaba Ilco.
x
Do not install any lock without the cylinder in place.
