Dear Campus Requesters,

Due to recent department and office relocations, we want to remind everyone of the policy and procedures related to rekeys. To avoid confusion and streamline the process, please review the information below and save the attached PDF for future reference.

What Is a Rekey?

• Rekeying a lock means changing the working key of the lock to a different key without replacing the lock itself.

Why Do We Need to Rekey?

• Rekeying helps maintain the integrity of University spaces and ensures compliance with organizational standards. Each department has a unique keyway, which must be preserved.

When Is Rekeying Required?

• Rekeying is necessary in any of the following situations:
  • Unauthorized entry
  • Lost keys
  • Preventing theft or vandalism
  • Office or department relocations

This guarantees that previous occupants’ keys no longer work in their former spaces.

Rekey Process for Office and Department Relocations:

• Allow at least two weeks before occupants move into new spaces for rekeying to be completed.
• Submit a work ticket through the Call Log or Work Control before any work begins.
• After submission, coordinate with the Lock & Door Shop to determine how doors should be keyed (offices, shared spaces, submaster keys).
• Once new keys are created, the authorized requester can place orders through Doors to receive them.

The Lock & Door Shop will stay in contact with departments throughout the process to ensure a smooth transition.

Thank you for your attention to this important process!

Best,

Vanessa Abbott

Facilities Liaisons:

The purpose of this email is to share details of the door lock procedure for the Winter academic break schedule for 2024. This procedure is designed to protect against theft and vandalism while also providing access to specific public facing buildings on the UO’s campuses, as follows:

• Most university building doors will be locked during observed holidays and academic breaks (including Winter Break 2024) as defined below.
• Some buildings with public facing services may not be subject to the locking schedule, especially during this academic break. These buildings are listed on the website in the Exceptions list.

• Faculty, staff, and student employees should already have either keys or prox card access to enter buildings during these times. Departments have authorized individuals who can request access for those who may need it for the Break period.
• No changes will be made to regular individual access, so anyone with existing access will still be able to access their normal locations.

Please note that during the Winter Break period (i.e., closing time on Friday, December 20^th until Thursday, January 2^nd at 7:00 A.M.) most buildings on campus will be closed and locked.

Authorized individuals may request exceptions to the locking procedure by meeting specific criteria listed in the procedure. Requests for exceptions can be submitted to FASS IT by calling 541-346-2245 or by emailing fass@uoregon.edu, providing as much advance notice as possible, and noting which exception criteria their situation(s) meets. FASS-IT will consult with the Campus Vulnerability Assessment Team on approval of exemptions.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. My email address is: carl.peaster@uopd.org

Thank you!

UO’s winter quiet period, between December 25 and January 1 holidays, is almost here! Many on-campus services will be reduced. Please take a moment to review previous news briefs about planning for building closures, winter break locking schedule, and taking extra safety and security precautions.  If an area you work in or are responsible for is planned to be unoccupied, please also review these “before you leave” reminders below for methods to ensure areas that will be unattended are left in a safe, secure, and environmentally sustainable manner.

• Make sure windows and doors are closed and locked.  Close window coverings if applicable.
• Turn down heating thermostats to “away mode” if locally controlled.
• Turn off lights.
• Turn off computers.
• Unplug electrical appliances including but not limited to coffee pots, space heaters, holiday lights.
• Eliminate pest attractants by disposing of all food and garbage.
• In laboratories, ensure that fume hood sashes are fully closed and that plumbing fixtures (gas and water) have valves closed.

Thank you.
