Keyed or tumbler turn combination locks are not ADA compliant. Any suggestions?

Push buttons should work, too, as long as there's no twisting or hard pulling to open the lock after unlocking. But I think Sheldon's suggestion is the best. When I was doing ADA surveys, the criteria we used involved holding a pencil in the fist. If the article could be operated with the eraser end of the pencil, it was probably OK.

I would not reccommend metal lockers in a pool locker room due to corrosion. 2. Digilock as Sheldon has said 3. Be sure to specify the proper internal closure bracket that accomodates the digilock. It is different than the non-digilock equipped lockers.

Digilock does not recommend their lock in pool areas.
