	I guess what I wrote about the "clam-shell" (Kee-Blok) wasn't clear. It 
effectively takes the room off the master by keeping any master (or 
specific) key from getting into the keyhole, until the Kee-Blok is removed. 
The devise fits over the entire door knob, and locks. Kee-Blok has it's own 
key. I have a copy, and so do the department administrator and recital hall 
manager. Period. Pretty secure, and rather cheap - $34.95. Less money and 
lots less time than calling the university lock shop and having the lock 
rekeyed.
	BTW there is also a version for the lever style handles that are becoming 
prevalent these days due to ADA regulations.
	Giving this nugget of information was my main reason for writing that 
post, though I also took advantage of an opportunity to vent a wee bit of 
frustration at the paperwork demons <g>. Thanks for the sympathy.
