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 
http://www.housing.cmu.edu/maint/MR.html 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.
