ZEEKO Wall Mounted Unlocking Device
Installation & Placement Guide
Who is this page for?
Caretakers installing the device, and principals/teachers choosing locations that keep dismissal safe and fast.
Before you start: plan for safety and flow
- Pick well-lit, supervised, obstruction-free spots away from pinch-points.
- Mount on a stable surface, at comfortable tap-and-go height, ca. 150cm.
- Keep clear of magnetic-sensitive items; add Strong magnet signage.
Where to position devices (for principals & teachers)
- Locate adjacent to main exits, not inside the doorway.
- Create one-way lanes with tape or barriers to prevent crowding.
- Spread devices across multiple exits/floors so year groups depart in parallel.
- Place wayfinding signs 5–10 metres before each device.
- Assign a staff steward per station at dismissal.
Install in minutes (for caretakers)
Fix the unit using suitable screws and wall plugs; check it is secure and level.
Test by presenting a pouch to confirm smooth release.
Set the new code and store the emergency key securely.
Safety essentials
- Strong magnet: keep away from pacemakers/Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD), cards and unshielded electronics.
- Pinch hazard: keep hands clear of the contact zone.
- Store the device and any handheld magnets in staff-only areas when not supervised.
Fast-exit routine (operational playbook)
Bell rings → pupils move to the nearest station.
Tap, release, go: pouch unlocked, student exits immediately.
Steward keeps the line moving and supports anyone who needs help.
Keep a spare handheld device at the door for contingencies.
Care & Troubleshooting
Wipe with a dry cloth; avoid solvents.
Monthly quick test for smooth operation; report issues early.
If release is weak, re-present the pouch square to the device and check wall fixing.
