Lock system

The purpose of a lock system is to assign access rights to users in a structured manner and to prevent unauthorised access to buildings or spaces. KTH's lock systems are planned on the basis of security needs, and organisational and user needs, and follow the system structure in accordance with KTH's planning documentation.

KTH's Security Group provides information and a review of the lock systems for the contact person for a school/division with regard to keys and lock systems.

To order, change and any measures to be taken with regard to lock systems, contact KTH's security function.
