T 3.21 Improper use of code locks

Experience shows that errors in the operation of mechanical code locks relatively often lead to a situation in which the cabinet can no longer be opened properly. Improper use can occur during input and is particularly frequent when the code is changed. In order to make the data media or IT equipment being stored accessible again, a specialist key cutting service has to be commissioned, with the result that, in addition to the loss arising from the lack of availability of the data media or equipment, substantial repair costs can also be incurred. In the worst-case a new protective cabinet has to be provided.
