Key Cabinets

For security and safety, it is an OH&S Workplace responsibility to make sure important keys are locked away in a secure storage lockable key control cabinet. Such keys would include those that access areas that not all staff are allowed to enter, keys that give drivers or operators access to the dangerous equipment or machinery they use, and high security keys that should never be taken off-site by staff without authorisation.

No matter if your workplace is a industrial factory, an utilities company, an office suite, a hospital or community health care centre, a hotel or hospitality venue, or a serviced apartment rental, a gaming club or leisure centre, a School, college or university, a government office, department or research institute, It is crucial that keys are controlled, monitored and stored securely in an appropriate key cabinet to maintain security and safety.

A common option is to secure such keys in an on-site heavy duty key cabinet that has a solid and strong construction and provides both certified strength and has a quality locking system. Most high security key cabinets are provided with fixing holes in the back for secure mounting to a solid wall. Whilst this is excellent, you need to be conscious of your chosen location. It makes sense to install in an area of the premises that is restricted to trusted and authorised personnel only.

Some Popular types of businesses and organisations that often need to manage and store keys in lockable key cabinets include

• Car rental companies
• Car dealers
• Property maintenance companies
• Cleaning firms
• Real estate agents
• Fire departments
• Security companies
• Emergency services
• Building maintenance companies
• etc…

These particular industries often have large volumes of keys that are a vital necessity to control and be securely protected.

So if your organisation has senior personnel or cleaning staff and security staff that may need access to particular keys during working hours, and they need to return the keys to the key cabinets when they finish their duties or before they leave for the day, key cabinet would ensure that no keys are stolen, duplicated or lost, eliminating the security risk of your workplace being vulnerable to unauthorised access.
