lock&quay Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 On 4/30/2020 at 9:53 PM, ponsaloti said: Today I started putting up a 2mm screen across the top of our 5.5M counter. Making 2 customer serving points (as in a bank) and putting markings on the floor along with a couple more of these 2m further back from the counter. That gives us 4 designated customer standing points. Not expecting that many people in the shop at one time but this way we can encourage customers to comply with the social distancing. Customer will drop there key or lock into a Tupperware box. I'll drag it thru the hatch and give it a squirt and rub with a sanitised wipe. Cut the key . Give the keys back and take the money . Wash/gel hands and start again At the moment I dont see the point in wearing gloves or a masks in the shop (this may change) but hand gel will be used after every transaction along with much hand washing during the day. Scratch your nose when your cutting a key and gloves become irrelevant. We have a lot of touchy feelie products hanging on the wall so I'm also looking at reviews on fogging and Ozone generators.A lot of mixed reviews so far. Its gonna be a learning curve so these procedures are fluid and may change as we start to work with them. Was 2mm substantial enough ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaloti Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Yes 2mm is fine for me. My sceens are not free standing, they're screwed to ali box section. If I get time tomorrow ,I'll put a couple of pictures up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYKeys Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Anyone know anywhere with perspex in stock? We are struggling. We had an order in with the plastic people in Leeds which should have been ready by now but when I called them to chase they said they didn't have the raw materials in stock. They've been horrendous to deal with so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsy9 Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Have you tried plastics online? Also the likes of Morplan, rhino mats etc all have different counter guards in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I’m a week in and....... ditched wearing a mask, made me hot a sweaty and just wasn’t practical, ditched sanitising keys but I’ve always worn gloves when doing bikes to stop getting greasy so just wear these as normal. i was so busy this week a lot of my plans feel by the wayside but I change my gloves regular and wash my hands regular, watch batteries I’ve stopped doing wyw and do them in batches put each one in a clear seal bag and then wash my hands after a batch. one thing that surprised me was how many customers Take a squirt of hand gel whilst as the counter. the practicalities of using PPE is actually quite tricky.

Simes Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) We are opening by appointment from a home workshop. It's working quite well. Appointments booked on Facebook mainly (we have a large Facebook presence). Customers remain outside the workshop while I cut keys and also programming car keys on the drive. I sanitise my hands with each customer and sanitise keys when handed back. Items are handed back at arms length. All surfaces touched in the vehicle are wiped clean with sanitiser cloths.

This is another reason people with existing breathing conditions like asthma are being asked to stay in longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Muppet Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Something I read somewhere made me think. if a fart can pass through your pants, jeans and the whole cushion on a sofa and still end up in your nose, what good is a thin bit of material gonna do against a virus?

ponsaloti Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Update on customer comments about my counter screening. Didn't really notice it myself but if you look at the pictures I've posted, it's a bit difficult to see thru the screen when the sun's out. What the customer see's is a reflection of themselves and what's behind them. I've started to tilt the bottom of screening further into my side of the counter. Hopefully the customers will see thru the screens. if there's still a reflection, it will be of the legs and floor rather than the bright shop window that's behind them.
