An emergency access tool is designed to unfold into unique geometrical shapes that allow for the tool to act as a Class 1 lever to access a locked privacy partition stall door from the outside area thereof. The tool provides a handle to impart input force, a shaft rotatable out of a collapsed position of storage within the handle into alternative fixed operating positions with respect to the handle, a proximal portion of the shaft having a reduced diameter intermediate section, the intermediate section providing a fulcrum point where leverage is achieved while the tool is inserted within the door seam of the partition, and a distal end section which maintains a substantially perpendicular orientation with respect to the shaft during use of the tool. The end section of the tool is sized and adapted to make contact with the interior door lock of the partition and impart the output force necessary to unlock the lock latch and allow entry into the privacy partition stall.
A portable apparatus adapted for providing rapid emergency access to a privacy partition stall, comprising:
