Stair lift
lock
A stair lift may require a
lock.
Fitting of a lock is
appropriate when a stair lift needs to be protected from
inappropriate or unwanted use.
If a stair lift is in a
residential home where children may have access to it, the
addition of a lock can prevent youngsters playing on the
device.
Equally, many stair lifts
are in public places such as restaurants, hotels, churches
and village halls.
Here, the organisation
responsible for the stair lift will be keen to restrict its
use to people who require it for legitimate
needs.
In such cases, the stair
lift installer can supply the device with a key-operated
lock.
Outdoor stair lifts are
often fitted with such locks.
A stair lift that is
situated on steps outside a home or other property is more
vulnerable to unauthorised use so a lock here can give the
owner peace of mind.
The lock can be used to lock
the stair lift in an on or off position.
