Lock, Key and Access Control Services

The security of CSUN students, faculty and staff and the protection of campus property are our top priorities. PPM’s goal is to ensure that everyone on campus has the right access to a safe and secure educational and working environment.

To prevent unauthorized access to particular areas many areas are secured with Access Control Locks or specific keys. All keys and access cards issued to an individual are the property of CSUN and must be surrendered immediately before employment or affiliation with CSUN ends. 

Requests for Physical Keys, Sargent and Omni Cards, and MataCard Access will need to be placed by an authorized department or division representative (i.e. College or Department Head, DFO, building representative, etc.) on behalf of the individual.  Requests require a chargeback number, see the sections below- "Issuing Access Codes" and "Issuing Keys". The Physical Plant Management Lock Shop will provide access to approved individuals and groups to access rooms and buildings on campus. 

Services*:

• Locks and Keys for Doors, Desks and Cabinets
• Rekeying / Broken Keys / New Keys
• Sargent Electronic Lock Installation, Service and Maintenance

PPM Service Guideline - Issuing Keys

The Physical Plant Management Lock issues keys to selectively allow individuals and groups to access rooms and building on campus and prevent unauthorized access to persons not privileged to enter particular areas.  Keys are issued consistent with the Chancellor’s Office guidelines, CSUN Policies, and security best practices.  All keys are issued to an individual, are the property of CSUN, and must be surrendered immediately before employment or affiliation with CSUN ends. 

To obtain one or more keys, a request from a department must be completed online through PeopleSoft Solar Financials using the following guidelines:

1. The key request must come from an authorized department or division representative (College or Department Head, DFO, building representative, etc.). A key request must be submitted via the Request Key or Access on MetaBIM.

2. The PeopleSoft Solar Financials Chargeback form must be completed in full and submitted to Physical Plant Management. 

Once the MetaBIM Key Request form and associated Peoplesoft Chargeback are submitted and approved, access cards, physical door and department level keys will typically be available for pickup within two business days of submitting the form (note that at the *beginning of each fall and spring semester requests may take longer to complete due to the large volume of new requests).  Higher-level keys (building, departmental, and other master keys) that require more extensive permissions may take longer.

Keys can be picked up from PPM Work Control by the requester or an authorized representative (PPM to MAP).  The individual retrieving the keys will be asked to present a photo ID (current driver’s license, campus ID card) and sign to have received the key(s) or access codes.
Campus parties may log in to Key Request on MetaBIM or call the PPM Work Control Center at X2222 to inquire about the order status and if it is complete.
