How to Operate Your Electronic Bedroom Lock

Your electronic bedroom lock features Toggle Mode, which allows you to leave your bedroom door unlocked or locked when closed. 

To engage Toggle Mode and unlock your door, place your Talon Card up to the middle of the reader at the top of the lock. When the green light flashes three times, turn the handle to open the door. Your bedroom door will remain unlocked until you disengage Toggle Mode. 

To disengage Toggle Mode and lock your door, place your Talon Card up to the middle of the reader at the top of the lock. When the light flashes red twice, the door will be locked. In case Housing and Residence Life staff needs to enter your room for any reason, such as health and safety inspections or maintenance requests, the staff member will lock the door when they leave. For more information, please watch the video below.

Remember to always have your Talon Card with you when you leave your room. Lockout fees will still apply if Housing staff members need to let you into your room or bedroom. If you have any issues with opening your bedroom door, please go to your community’s Housing Office before 5 p.m. or call your community’s RA on call after 5 p.m.
