The Euro key (German: Euroschlüssel) is a universal locking system that allows individuals with physical disabilities to independently access accessible toilets, elevators, and other special facilities across Europe. Introduced in 1986 by CBF Darmstadt (Club Behinderter und ihre Freunde) in Germany, the standardized key provides autonomy and security by using the same type of key to open thousands of public facilities.
