Dear Resident,

As you begin to prepare for the close of the fall semester, you will need 
to start thinking about protecting the belongings that you will leave 
behind in your room during winter break.  The most important thing you need 
to do to make your room secure is to lock the door.  One of the aspects of 
maintaining this security is to check the function of the lock to make sure 
it is working properly. You should test it as soon as possible to prevent 
any delays in your departure for winter break.

To test your lock function:

Dip your key into your lock,  both lights should appear. Enter your PIN and 
the light will turn green. Turn the handle to open the door. Wait a few 
seconds for the light to disappear and turn the handle again.  Is the 
handle free moving? You should not be able to open your door when the green 
light is not showing. If you can, your door is not locking properly.  You 
need to submit a maintenance request at www.housing.cmu.edu to have it 
fixed as soon as possible.

If after entering your PIN you receive a solid green light with a blinking 
red light, this means the lock batteries will die soon.  Please submit a 
maintenance request to avoid being locked out of your room. Please check 
out http://www.housing.cmu.edu/TESALocks/LockCodes.html to learn about the 
lights on your door.  This page is extremely helpful in understanding any 
problems that you may be experiencing with your door.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact the
Housing Services Office at x8-2139 or at univhous@andrew.cmu.edu. Best
wishes during your finals and have a wonderful winter break.


Regards,

Megan Neal
Student Services Assistant
