ADA-Compliant Locker Locks

ADA Compliance Defined

The Master Lock 1600 ADA Series and 1700 ADA Series Built-in Locks meet the United States Department of Justice “2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design”. This Standard requires 5% of lockers meet ADA specifications. In addition, these standards state that operable parts, the locks, meet the following requirements:

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

Master Lock ADA Compliant Locker Locks achieve these requirements through the use of a specially designed keyhead and the simple operation of the lock. The large flat keyhead makes the key easy to grip for those with extreme joint pain. For those with clenched fist dexterity, the flat keyhead fits securely between their fingers. The operation of the lock can be achieved by a simple bumping action to the ADA keyhead to both open and close the lock without the need of tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist.
