Cohousing-L Mailing List: Access to common areas

[Wim De Saegher (wim.de]

Hi folks,

 

how do you secure the access to the common areas? 

 

Using a key?

Is there one key (with duplicates)? Who gets a key?

Is the key part of a "big key": big key opens house, small part opens common
area?

Do all common areas (guestrooms, garden shed, bike shed) share the same
key/lock?

 

Using a code? A lock with code, or an electronic door?

Biometrics? Badge?

 

We're designing the buildings now and would like to know how other groups
tackle this issue.

Thanks a lot! 

 

Kind regards

Wim De Saegher (Belgium)
