[Electronics-Talk] touch screen locks

Fri Dec 11 23:33:07 UTC 2020

Hi.

Steve made my point, I'll restate it. If it's a true touch screen, placing marks on it won't help, unless you precisely touch the spot you want. If you touch any part of the area, you'll activate something else. I suspect it's something that you have to put pressure on, like what's on many microwaves. If the latter is the case, Steve's suggestion is an excellent one.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.

Kevin and Jilly

Reuben,

Another approach would be to get some transparent labeling tape or a sheet of transparent labeling plastic and just cut little squares out, one for each number.  They would not even need to be brailled.  The print numbers should show through, and cleaning off any adhesive after they are removed should be simple.  Be sure, though, to determine that the numbers don't move within the touchpad as can happen when it is a screen and not just a pad.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Yes, just not sure the apartment complex would want me to do that.

One possibility might be to use puff paint on the numbers on the touch screen. I know this works for microwave ovens. That cold be the simplest thing to do.

Hi list,

I'm looking at moving into a new apartment complex that has touch screen keybads for the door locks to get into the units. Has anyone else encountered this at their residence/ apartment? If so how did you accommodate/ make it work. I know the complex is responsible for this, just wondering what others have found as a work around/ fix. thanks
