What are the primary benefits of key cabinets?
A key cabinet may not sound like it needs much of an explanation, but let's look at the security-specific benefits for your business.
True, it is a cabinet, and, yes, it is for keys; but the benefits this convenient storage solution can bring to a business go way beyond just that. A vital form of security for businesses large or small, key cabinets are able to do far more than store multiple sets of keys safely. They'll help prevent unauthorized access to buildings and rooms, protect valuable assets such as vehicles, and help managers keep track of usage. From car dealerships and government departments to universities and police stations, here’s how key cabinets could help you unlock your organization's potential.
6 of the main benefits of key cabinets
- Facility security
This one almost goes without saying. Installing a key cabinet ensures any keys used to access sensitive areas of the building will be securely locked away with access limited. KEYper's MX Electronic Key System and MXi Key Cabinets are made with 16-gauge powder-coated steel for supreme security and added peace of mind. - Asset protection
If your firm stores valuable equipment in locked cabinets, or maybe keys for on-site vehicles, you will want to make sure they are protected at all costs. High-quality, secure key cabinets will do just that, while providing detailed audit trails; as the next point will expand on. - Keeping track of key holders
Scribbling down names on a piece of paper, or constantly updating a spreadsheet, in order to track which member of staff has which key can be time-consuming, frustrating, and not very cost effective. Electronic key cabinets will monitor usage within the business, letting management know who has each key, when they took it, and what they are using it for. - Reduced costs
Replacement keys are expensive, not to mention a hassle to sort. Not only does a key cabinet store all your keys neatly in one place – making them far easier to keep track of – email/SMS notifications can be created to alert designated staff members if a key has not been returned on time or there have been failed login attempts. - Versatility
Whether it be a relatively small number of keys you need housing, or a much larger amount, key cabinets can be customized to fit the needs of any size business. They can also be wall-mounted or configured as a free-standing system depending on your preference or available space. - Unrivaled support
