Before you go to the door:

1. Locate the door alarm key

   1. The key is located in the lock box in reception storage behind the Main 2nd floor desks.

   2. The code for the lock box (if locked) is 3789.

2. Retrieve Key #1 with the large key chain that says "ALARM KEY"

3. Grab earplugs located on the supply table near the Main 2nd. The alarm on the triggered door can be VERY loud.

Disarm/Re-arm the door alarm:

To disarm and re-arm the door alarm:

1. Insert the key in the alarm box above the door

2. Turn the key all the way to the right

3. Turn the key all the way to the left

4. This process should silence the buzzer and re-arm the door

You can take the directions with you!

The red indicator light on the alarm boxes above the emergency exits signifies that the alarm is armed, but the lights don't always work

The alarm might not be sounding at the door location, however it still needs to be re-armed.
