T 5.53 Deliberate misuse of protective cabinets for<br />

reasons of convenience<br />

One often-seen form of deliberate misuse of protective cabinets with<br />

mechanical code locks consists of not wiping the code after closing a<br />

protective cabinet, in order not to have to re-enter the code when opening it.<br />

This inappropriate behaviour reduces the protection value of the cabinet<br />

against unauthorised access, as it enables a third party to open the protective<br />

cabinet without knowing the code.<br />

A circumstance encountered just as frequently involves protective cabinets not<br />

being locked when the room is vacated for a short period, to save individuals<br />

from having to open the cabinet when they return. This likewise reduces<br />

protection value against unauthorised access.<br />
