Salto Locks
Hanson Hall has more than 50 Salto electronic locks securing the many spaces within the building. Two primary types of Salto electronic locks are used within the building, "offline" battery powered door locks and "online" access points. Offline locks generally secure standard doors in classrooms, offices, practice rooms and storerooms, while online access points are used in various applications including primary entrance points, elevators, and local hotspots.

Online Salto Locks

The online locks within Hanson Hall are the primary means for directing foot traffic patterns. Online locks are used at primary entrance points throughout the building such as the main entrance door, the entrance from Anderson Chapel, and elevator. Some online locks within Hanson Hall are programmed for automatic open periods, generally reflecting the intended hours of operations of the areas they secure. During these time periods the doors secured by online locks will open freely without the requirement of authorized credentials.
When an authorized user enters an area secured by online locks, the presentation of their credentials electronically opens the door and bypasses the alarm for a predetermined period of time, generally 10 seconds. If these doors are held open longer than this time the alarm will sound and security will be notified. If an extended open period is needed to access one of these areas a user may simply present their credentials again to the hotspot, thereby extending the open period another 10 seconds. Alarms are only programmed to sound when the doors they secure are in locked state outside of the general building hours.

Hotspots/Access Cards

All online Salto lock readers serve as hotspots. Hotspots update NPU ID's and when connected to locking mechanisms serve as the access point for that location. For convenience hotspots have been installed at all entrance points of the building.
ID access cards have a limited amount of memory. Accessing locks fills up this memory, requiring periodic updates. If you experience an issue with your NPU ID please update your ID at one of these hotspots. If the issue persists after updating please visit the front desk at Student Services or contact Campus Security.

SALTO HOTSPOT

Offline Salto Locks

Offline Salto locks in Hanson Hall can be found on every office, classroom, practice and storeroom door. These locks generally remain in a locked state and are intended to increase the security of the rooms. To access a room secured by an offline lock an authorized user must present their NPU ID to the card reader, wait for the indicator light to flash green, and then open the door.

Offline locks on all classroom and office doors in Hanson Hall will utilize an additional locking function known as timed office mode. This mode allows an authorized user to place the lock into an unlocked function during certain periods. Once enabled the door lock will open freely without ID access. This function is intended to allow faculty and staff the ability to unlock doors for students during required periods.
All doors within Hanson Hall are acoustically rated and are equipped with sound isolating seals. Never prop open doors within the building as doing so will cause damage to the sound isolating features of the doors.
An offline lock placed into the timed office mode will remain unlocked until the end of the timed office period or until an authorized faculty or staff member disables the mode. The timed period for the office mode of all enabled doors within Hanson Hall is (except 202 which utilizes an extended period) Mon. – Sun. 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

To enable the office mode on a door lock, an authorized user must present their NPU ID to the card reader while holding down on the inner handle of the door. Once the door is placed into office mode the indicator light will blink rapidly and the lock will beep four times. To disable the office mode simply repeat this procedure.
It is asked that all faculty and staff disable office mode when they have finished using a room. Office mode is intended to accommodate the access needs of students and should not be enabled for extended periods of time. North Park Security asks that all faculty and staff partner with them to keep the rooms within Hanson Hall secure when not in use. Never place or keep an unoccupied classroom or office in office mode. If you see an unoccupied room in office mode please disable the function and ensure that the door is closed.
