A fee of £10.00 is payable for a key fob

The Co-op reserves the right to refuse the issue of a fob if a valid reason is not given

Lost, broken or stolen fob keys must be deleted as soon as possible. All information must be recorded within the fob audit folder.

Lost fobs must be decoded immediately or within 24 hours.

When a new fob is issued, a receipt must be given to the person receiving the fob and the fob must be signed for whether or not a payment is required and details must be held on file for the Co-op records.

Fob keys must only be issued to the tenant/resident/contractor with a valid ID, preferably photo identification and a copy should be held on file.

A fob key is the holder’s responsibility.
