The suite doors at Pontchartrain Hall are card only Saflok locks; the students residing in the suite must have their ID card programmed for the door to gain access to the suite. Throughout the lifespan of the lock, the lights on the lock may flash as a signal to the person presenting their card to the lock. Submit a maintenance request if you are experiencing trouble with your suite door lock. 

Common Lock Issues:

• Slow blinking of the lights: Battery is Low. 
• Red and green lights flash alternately: Replace Battery.
• Simultaneous red and green flashing: Lock Needs to be Reset
• Flashing yellow 1-2 times: Incorrect Card.
• Quick red light: Improper Use of Card.
• Quick Red and Yellow Light: Cannot Read Code; Lock is Damaged/ Needs Cleaning.
