Request a FOB

​You can request a FOB key or a FOB sticker after being an active Kingcrafts’ member for at least 3 months.  You must first complete your craft group’s specific requirements to obtain a FOB, and then get permission to apply online from your group convenor.  For Pottery members in particular, your application for a FOB is contingent upon your completion of studio orientation and training, as described in the Pottery Group Guidelines.​

 

Process to apply for FOB

• decide if you want a FOB key or a FOB sticker. Either item currently costs $20.  Choose one only.  The  sticker cost is non-refundable while the key cost is refundable

• complete and submit the online FOB Access Request Form found on the Kingcrafts.ca website (bottom of this page)

• pay the deposit (currently $20) by e-transfer to kingcraftstreasurer@gmail.com on your e-transfer, kindly note that the payment is for a FOB

​

Return a FOB

When your membership ends,

• return the FOB key to the FOB coordinator (Linda Marr) making sure that it is clean and has the original clip attached

• the $20 deposit will be returned to you

• if you have a FOB sticker, there are no refunds as it cannot be reused

 

FOB Use and Access Procedures

The last person to leave the studio must leave the studio neat and tidy and make sure all doors and windows on both floors are locked (regardless of who opened them).  The front door always automatically locks behind you but you must pull it firmly closed to lock it and turn off the alarm.  Ensure there is nothing obstructing the door from closing such as the carpet, accessibility (wave) receiver, etc.

 

If you have trouble with your FOB, contact the FOB coordinator (Linda Marr, or alternatively, Tanya Wallgren).  They may be able to resolve the issue over the phone and open the door remotely.

 

If you lose your FOB, let the FOB coordinator or your convenor know ASAP so it can be deactivated.  If you find it again, we can easily reactivate it.  A fee of $20 is payable for a lost FOB.

 

Do not identify the actual FOB as belonging to Kingcrafts by writing or putting a sticker on it.  If found/stolen by someone, we do not want them to know exactly what establishment they have access to.

 

The FOB cannot be shared or loaned to anyone.

 

Kingcrafts has the right to deactivate a FOB and remove or limit any member’s access to the studio for any reason, at any time. 

​​

If you are no longer a Kingcrafts member, or have not paid for your membership by July 31st, your FOB will be deactivated.

​

When working downstairs, be respectful of groups working upstairs.

 

In winter and on hot summer days, open the door using the FOB manually versus using the accessibility sensor/wave feature.  This will limit the open time and keep air loss to a minimum. 

 

The first person arriving at the studio should enter using the front door and proceed to unlock the side door, through which remaining members (unless they have physical restrictions) should enter.

 

Use the online SaaS scheduler to book your studio time not more than 2 weeks in advance, and to check for blackout periods, events or workshop use by other groups.  Sign in and out of the studio using the sign-in sheets at either door.

 

Remove wet boots/shoes upon entry at front or side doors to keep the cost of carpet cleaning to a minimum.

​

REMEMBER:

The front door WILL LOCK BEHIND YOU!!  

Make sure to keep your FOB in your pocket while at the studio so you do not lock yourself out.​​
