Emergency Service is available when necessary. In accordance with university policy for "call outs," a minimum charge of 3 hours labor is billed to the department requesting service. Please see How to Request Emergency Service.

For lock changes or re-keying of existing cylinders in the office areas, see How to Request Special Services. Charges will be on a time-and-material basis. Requests for duplicate keys may be made on an Interdepartmental Order (IT, see http://www.tulane.edu/~tams/forms/formindex.htm), and, along with a sample key, forwarded to the Customer Service. The charge for making duplicate keys is on a per-item basis.

Only Facilities Services personnel are authorized to change locks, re-key cylinders, or duplicate keys for university buildings.

Requests for desk name plates, office identification signs, messages signs, or departmental signs may also be made on an Interdepartmental Order (IT see http://www.tulane.edu/~tams/forms/formindex.htm), and forwarded to Customer Service. The Key Shop can engrave letters and numbers on laminated Formica in 16 sizes from 1/4" to 2'. All signs shall follow the Americans with Disabilities Act codes as necessary.
