A.10 Section
A.11 Floor
A.12 Group
A.13 Zone
A.14 Area
Purpose: Opens doors with the appropriate Sub-master level and address (e.g. Zone 3, Group 2,
etc.). The Sub-master levels (Section, Floor, Group, Zone and Area) are used for
access by staff who should not have master key privileges (e.g. office staff,
housekeepers and housekeeper managers, maintenance workers, laundry, room
service, etc.) Each Sub-master level is divided into 255 addresses. Rooms to which the
same staff member or team of staff members require access should be keyed alike.
Example: There is no hierarchy of Sub-master levels. For example, if Section addresses are used
to divide the property according to the housekeeper who is assigned to clean a
combination of rooms, then in high season there may be more than one Section per
floor. Conversely, in low season a single Section may span more than one Section per
floor. The section addresses would be reset at the start of either season using a Section
Reset keycard.
For more examples of the use of Sub-master levels, see Section 5.3.1 – Lock
Addresses.
