Baur explained that the digital locks they have been using are problematic and the padlock conversion is a solution they have been working on for quite some time. The use of personal locks is for security and convenience purposes. Students can purchase locks from the Wellness Center or another store, but the Wellness Center assures students that locks will be affordable and there should be no need to go elsewhere to purchase them.
No resources will be wasted in the conversion. The digital locks being removed from the daily use lockers will be saved as spares for the semester locker rentals.
