Who has keys to your business?
A basic message to communicate to all business owners.
Have you or will you give keys to your business to employees, workman or others? Will it be okay for them to have duplicate keys made for your business without your knowledge?
Usually the answer is no, in fact no way!
The good news is you can prevent unauthorized key duplication and control production of your keys.
Patented Lock & Key Systems prevent key blanks from being available in the open market.
This means the key holder canât go to home-mart, hardware stores or even another locksmith to get keys duplicated for your business.
Keys can only be made with systematic authorization.
In a properly designed and managed system every key is accounted for through serialization, individual assignment and tracking.
The authorization protocol varies, however typically it includes positive identification, on-file authorized signatory match and other methods of authorization.
A key control management system that includes policy, process and procedures for new employees or other key holders as well as a collection method when people leave the business will enable you to manage keys efficiently and securely.
Every business owner should know exactly who has keys to the business at all times to limit risk.
Your security professional can provide instant feedback on the cost to upgrade locks with keys and cylinders to provide patented key control, they will recommend what needs to be done to increase security with patented key control.
