SALTO’s GEO RIM cylinders proved the ideal solution as it has been specially designed and developed for use with doors where normal escutcheons cannot be fitted.

GEO locks can be fully integrated with the full SALTO platform, and are a versatile, cost effective solution.

The customer: St Paul’s College in Sydney, Australia, is an all-male Anglican residential college and affiliated with the University of Sydney. Founded in 1856, it is Australia’s oldest university college and has nearly 200 residents, of whom about 150 are undergraduates; with the remainder being graduates undertaking further study or holding university positions.

The college has a substantial tutorial programme and uses the principle of peer tutoring, a development of the idea of ‘peer assisted study’.

Nearly all tutors are students in college, and most of them are undergraduates, at most a year or two further advanced than their class.

As a result university work is drawn to the centre of college life, and teaching and intellectual leadership is part of the mainstream conversation.

The organisation of the tutorial system is largely in the hands of students, under the supervision of the Senior Tutor.

Social networking is also used by the students to supplement teaching.

Background: The buildings at St Paul’s College date from the late 1850’s up through to those constructed in the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1990’s.

There had been many changes to the locking installations over the years meaning the college had ongoing problems with students loosing keys giving them the expense of having to replace locks and keys on a regular basis.[…]
