The Master Locksmiths Access Key (MLAK) is an innovative system that enables people with disabilities to gain 24/7 access to a network of public facilities.
The MLAK system has been fitted to elevators at railway stations, accessible toilets in Council municipalities and National Parks and in adaptive playground equipment (Liberty Swing) across Australia.
People with a disability are able to purchase an MLAK master key which will open all toilets, playgrounds and other facilities which are fitted with this specially designed lock. People with a stoma qualify for a MLAK.
How do I get an MLAK?
MLAK Keys are available for purchase from Business Members of the Association. To find your nearest Master Locksmith, follow the link below to the Master Locksmith Association of Australasia’s website: http://www.masterlocksmiths.com.au/mlak.php
