Guide to locking & unlocking your bedroom door for students living in apartment-style accommodations*
If you are living in an apartment, you use your husky card to access your bedroom in the same way you access your apartment; however one option is to configure your bedroom door to remain locked or unlocked.
How to configure your bedroom door to remain UNLOCKED:
- Insert and remove your card and enter your PIN
- After you have entered your PIN and while solid green light is visible,
insert your card again - Green light will flicker and the door is now Unlocked
How to configure your bedroom door to RE-LOCK:
- Insert your card into the lock twice
- After the first insert, the green light will flicker
- After the second insert, a solid red light will appear, indicating the door is locked
- A valid insert and PIN is now required to open the door
*Please note: This can only be configured for bedrooms in apartment-style accommodations.
