Accessible toilets?

I do applaud all the advancements made these days in shops, venues etc regarding disabled toilets. However, I am finding more often that these days when needing to spend a penny that you actually need to find a person who can unlock the door for you. This does not happen with the able bodied facilities. Has anybody else found the same difficulty?
I am not in a wheelchair but am disabled, from birth, and with age am finding more difficulty with walking long distances. The last thing I need is too walk around looking for a key holder if on my own. Surely there has to be an easier way?

I'm sure many community members will be able to relate to this, @Geniedebs. Have you considered purchasing a Radar Key? I don't have one myself, but know many people who speak highly of them!

Hi @Geniedebs, I too would highly recommend getting a Radar key. It has made things so much easier for myself and just makes it a much smoother process- also means I don't need to go and find someone to open it for me!

Thanks Chloe Scope. I will certainly look at that option.
