Question 1

What is a RADAR key (National Key Scheme key)?

Accepted Answer

A RADAR key (also known as a National Key Scheme / NKS key) is a universal key used to unlock many locked accessible toilets across the UK. It helps keep facilities available for people who need accessible toilets.

Question 2

Where do RADAR keys work?

Accepted Answer

RADAR key toilets are common at transport hubs, shopping centres, parks, public buildings, and council sites. Availability varies by area, so it helps to check listings before you travel.

Question 3

How do I find RADAR key toilets near me?

Accepted Answer

Use ToiletNearMe and filter for “RADAR key” to see nearby accessible toilets that require the key. You can also browse city pages and open the RADAR key facility view for major locations.

Question 4

Is a RADAR key the same as a Changing Places toilet?

Accepted Answer

No. A RADAR key is an access system for many locked accessible toilets. Changing Places is a higher-spec facility for people with complex care needs (often with a hoist and adult changing bench). Some Changing Places toilets may also use controlled access, but they are not the same thing.
