Keyholders

How to get a key

Core volunteers and paid interns that need an external key can ask to be granted a key by the staff collective by sending a message to staff@freegeek.org and indicating what they need the key for. The collective will discuss the matter at the next possible staff meeting. If a keyholder loses a key, they must reapply to the staff collective.

For further information on who gets keys and how check out the After Hours Access Policy.

Notes

All members of the staff collective have keys to both the external (E) and internal (I) doors in the building. Additionally, paid interns and core volunteers also have these keys as needed.

Some people who used to be keyholders no longer need them. Also, we were unable to adequately review all the previous keyholders. Anyone not on the list who wants a key should send a message requesting one to staff the (see above).

(NOTE: "E" indicates an external key.)

Locks have been re-keyed and keys are being distributed. As we hand out new keys and reclaim the old keys, add the keyholder to this list. Record key number. Italic names are reserved keys and or are in the safe

Blackhole keyholders

The black hole has two locks. Both can be opened with an I key, the bottom can be opened with this key as well. This is for core laptop volunteers to be able to lock the room while they go to the bathroom and whatnot. Both locks should be kept locked when no-one is working in there. (The black hole keys are marked with an X.)

T.A.R.D.I.S. keyholders

This is the T key. Keys are issued at the discretion of staff (mostly Dave and Martin) to allow access for build instructors to enter the T.A.R.D.I.S. during their build shift. Dave has the keys.

Re-keying the locks

If you're re-keying the locks, check this page to estimate how many new keys will be needed. Remember to take into account non Free Geekers with keys (artists subletting from us, etc.)
It is customary for the staff collective to reevaluate who still needs keys. This will affect the number of keys needed.
Other key requests will undoubtedly be made, so having a few extra keys made is good. (They should be kept in the safe.)
The keys should be numbered so they can be kept track of. The locksmith can do this. Our current locksmith (Atlasta Lock and Key) does this for no charge.
Before the locks are re-keyed it is very important that all keyholders be notified so that folks who need access are not locked out. This is especially important for keyholders who are not on staff, as they are most likely to be forgotten.

Be sure to review the List of locks.
