Memo #1459: VPS Steel Security Door Types (Reminder)

VPS has three different types of doors: Code Doors, Key Doors, and Rear Doors. The following outlines the steps required to access (Unlock & Lock) all VPS steel security doors at a property. Properties secured with VPS steel should continue to be accessed when conducting interior inspections. Please review the access and locking directions outlined below.

Examples of Steel Securing

(1) D90 – Code Door

Ø Unlocking:

o Use the color code provided by MCS (5 color combination).

Ensure that the hand lever is all the way up in the locked position.
Enter the code (the code is provided in the MCS inspection order access notes).
You will hear a single loud beep and a click.
Once the code is entered you will have 5 seconds to move the slide handle down into the unlock position before the code is cancelled.
Locking:
Make sure the door frame is clear of mud, ice, or other debris on all sides.
Close the door panel firmly so that both the top and bottom of the right side are flush with the face of the door frame.
Lift the handle all the way up into the lock position.

(2) DM90 – Key Door

Ø Unlocking:

o A key is required to unlock this type of door.

§ The location of the key will be provided by MCS in the work order Access Notes.

Insert the key into the BOTTOM lock and rotate the key counter-clockwise.
Then, insert the key into the TOP lock and rotate the key counter-clockwise.
The door should be unlocked. Pull on the key before removing it from the top lock and the door should open.
Locking:
Make sure the door frame is clear of mud, ice, or other debris on all sides.
Be sure that the interior slide lock is pulled in the open position.
Close the door panel firmly so that both the top and bottom of the right side are flush with the face of the door frame.
From the Outside: Insert the key into the lock and rotate the key clockwise for both the TOP and the BOTTOM lock.

(3) DM90 – Rear Door

**Rear doors can only be unlocked from the interior.**

Shoot Bolts:
To Unlock: Pull the shoot bolts to the right and out of the notch in the door frame. There are 2 shoot bolts, one near the top and one near the bottom.
If the shoot bolts have pad locks then you will need to contact MCS for keys.
Mud, ice or other debris can cause the shoot bolts to jamb. Hitting the casing over the bolt can dislodge the debris.
Tension on the shoot bolts can be eased by pulling inward on the door panel while sliding the shoot bolts open.
To Lock: Slide both shoot bolts (top and bottom) into the notches on the door frame to lock the door.
Please make sure that the door frame is clear of mud, ice, or other debris on all sides.
Close the door panel firmly so that the left side is flush with the face of the door frame.

Red Handle:
To Unlock: Lift the red handle up to the unlock position.
A roller in the locking mechanism my not be properly aligned but lifting the handle with added force should overcome the tension on the roller.
To Lock: Lower the red handle completely down into the lock position.
Please make sure that the door frame is clear of mud, ice, or other debris on all sides.
Locate the 3 rollers on the door frame and make sure that they are not bent to either side.
Close the door panel firmly so that the left side is flush with the face of the door frame.
