When you need the loo, you need it now. A RADAR key lets you straight into the locked accessible toilets in stations, shopping centres, pubs, cafés and parks across the UK. No hunting for staff, no asking at the bar, no waiting at the door hoping someone turns up with the key. Every key here fits the standard NKS lock, and one key opens more than 9,000 toilets. Our boxes of three come with free UK delivery.
Not sure which one? Get the boxed set of three. Delivery is free, it works out far cheaper per key, and you'll never be caught without one: keep one on your keyring, one in the car and one in your bag or with whoever helps you get out and about. Raised pentagons on each head mean you can find it by touch, even at the bottom of a bag. Add three lanyards for £1.99 and each key can hang round a neck, on a bag strap or from a wheelchair.
Which key suits you?
They all open exactly the same locks. The only difference is how the key feels in your hand.
If your grip is weak or your fingers get stiff, go for the large grip braille key. The big, chunky head is easy to hold and turn, and the braille means you can find it by touch at the bottom of a bag.
If you come across stiff, worn locks, the easy-turn key has a textured head that gives your fingers something firm to push against. It comes as a pair, so there's a spare for the car.
Will it fit?
Yes. Every toilet in the National Key Scheme uses the same lock, from Cornwall to the Highlands. Look for the RADAR or NKS sign on the door, and your key will open it.
What is a RADAR key?
It's the key to the National Key Scheme, set up in 1981 by RADAR, the Royal Association for Disability and Rehabilitation, and now run by Disability Rights UK. The toilets are locked to keep them clean and free for the people who really need them, rather than for anyone passing by.
Wheelchair users carry one. So do people living with Crohn's, colitis, IBS, MS or a stoma, and anyone who simply can't wait in a queue. Plenty of disabilities don't show, and with your own key you never have to explain yours to a stranger behind a counter.
Questions
How do I find RADAR toilets near me?
Your local council's website lists them, and toilet-finder apps are handy when you're planning a day out or a long journey.
Can I buy one for someone else?
Of course. If you're buying for a parent, partner or child, the sets of two and three give their carer a spare as well.
How quickly will it arrive?
We post from our UK warehouse. Boxes of three go free by Royal Mail 2nd Class, usually in 2 to 3 working days. Everything else is free on UK orders over £30, and you can choose a faster tracked service at checkout.
