Hello lovely people
been to the Liberty Stadium to watch the Ospreys win their last game of the season.
Needed the loo and one of the stewards opened a disabled toilet for me. She explained about a key you can get that opens these toilets.
I think she called it a radar key. Anyone know how I would go about getting one of these?
Thanks

Hi You can order them from disability rights for £4.50 vat free Sue x
If you put radar key into google you’ll find a ton of places that sell it. I always keep mine in my pocket so I can get in the loo in a hurry if I need to.

About £3 from Amazon.
It does make you wonder about the validity of the scheme when anyone can order one, not just those who are entitled to it!

Hi Got mine off ebay. Neil
I ordered mine from the Radar website. I seem to remember there being a choice of key size, depending on how well you can grasp. I ordered 3 but I think you’re encouraged to order more if you’re forgetful. Heater
Hi everybody
thaks for all the replies. Another question I had is how do you know which toilets use these keys?

There is an app you can get for your phone Freckles or a booklet you can buy
Hi Freckles,
Order a key from RADAR website , they’re a charity and will get the money, it’s about £4.50. The key is quite big so you shouldn’t loose it. You can also buy a book that tells you where all the toilets are.
If you order them from Amazon or ebay someone else is getting the money.
I found that once I had the key I’d really noticed all the disabled loos and now I’m an expert in my local area. It’s like a game trying toi spot them!
I know of two restaurants that have the loos upstairs but disabled ones downstairs that use the RADAR key (expect it’s so people dont just come in off the street and use the loo).
Most public toilets have a disabled one using the RADAR key.
Good luck

Just looking and there;'s an app for mobile phones listing all the RADAR key toilets in the UK.
think it costs about £4, worth it if your travelling around. search RADAR!
They should advertise this key more. I have a close friend, whose had trouble with moblility for a long time and she knew nothing about this key…she’s usually up on most things.
I bought her one too…we know how to live it up
In most public toilets, the disbled toilet is in the RADAR scheme. It cuts down on casual vandalism as you have to know where to go to get a key. I agree, though, it could be better advertised to those who need it.
This thread has reminded me that I used to have a key - got it some years ago as a result of other health issues. I ought to see if I can find it so that if/when I start to need it, I know where it is.
