Key cabinets come in a variety of sizes, materials and types. A key storage cabinet may contain anywhere from eight keys up to thousands, depending on the size of the unit. There are also extra depth cabinets for holding bunches of keys instead of single ones. Businesses such as car rental or real estate offices often have a need for this type of key control cabinet.

Most key cabinets are made of a heavy gauge steel or sturdy metal. However, there are ones with glass doors so you can view which keys are in the cabinet without opening it, and a wooden key cabinet is also an option. The cabinets can either sit on the floor or be mounted to the wall. Inside the cabinet will be rows for hanging up the keys on either slots or hooks, with many having a colored tag system for helping to organize and keep track of the keys.

There are also several different types of key cabinets. The main choice is between locking key cabinets and electronic key cabinets. A locking key cabinet is the most basic type of cabinet that opens and locks with a metal key. The digital key cabinet is a keyless system that has a keypad similar to an alarm system. This form of electronic key cabinet is programmable, with some having the ability to program and re-program thousands of different combinations of access codes. Other features may include a low battery indicator and tracking mechanism. The electric key cabinet does offer higher levels of security and more features for businesses who need more security. A key cabinet combination lock with a manual rather than a digital lock is also available. Some key cabinets also come with dual lock systems which adds an additional form of security.

With all the different choices available, how does a business choose the best key cabinet? The main things to consider are how many keys need to be stored, how many people will need to access the cabinet, the company’s budget, and what features or levels of security are important to the business. Higher levels of security will obviously require a key cabinet that comes with more features which of course will cost more. You also need to have a key control cabinet with is consistent with your company’s security policies. For example, a dual locking system would require two different combinations and two different people could be responsible for them. This would provide a higher level of security.

Another consideration when it comes to security is where you will place the key cabinet. Most of them mount on the wall. You need to have the key storage cabinet to be accessible to those who need it, but out of view from the casual observer.

A key cabinet is essential for any business with multiple keys that it needs to organize and keep track of. Business keys are usually associated with some of the company’s most valuable assets, so it’s vital that they be safeguarded.
