RADAR key for disabled toilets

Posted by Bea on 8/12/2010, 10:42 am

Hello all. I haven't been here for a while. Just wanted to share that recently I got a RADAR key for use of disabled toilets from this website: http://www.radar.org.uk/radarwebsite/tabid/41/default.aspx

You do not have to have a mobility problem to have a radar key - a chronic illness that reasonably requires use of disabled toilets is reason enough. The key costs about £3.50 which IMO is well worth the money.

Yes, I have one too, I don't think I even had to give a reason. I believe you can also buy them from reception desks in some shopping malls etc.

I think you are right, you do not have to give a reason why you want a RADAR key, and £3.50 is a reasonable sum to enable you to have peace of mind when out and about.
Disabled toilets tend to have full-length doors and be larger inside than other facilities. Those without a RADAR lock on them are not reserved only for the disabled, but are "disabled enabled", i.e. kitted out to be easier for those with a disability to use. But anyone can use them, and they are more private for those with AP

Beware, I have unintentionally walked in on someone using radar key accessed facilities! It is not always easy to see if the facility is occupied and it appears that anyone with a radar key can unlock the door and reveal you sitting on the throne unless there is an additional bolt on the inside! Watch MOTO facilities eg Thurrock.
