Key Cabinets
Key cabinets provide secure, organised storage for multiple keys used within workplaces and managed environments. By centralising key storage and controlling access, key cabinets help reduce key loss, improve accountability and support effective security procedures in offices, schools, healthcare settings and commercial facilities.
What Are Key Cabinets?
Key cabinets are secure storage units designed to store, organise and control access to multiple keys within an organisation. They are commonly used where several users require access to vehicle keys, room keys, equipment keys or asset keys, helping maintain traceability, reduce unauthorised use and support day-to-day security management.
Total Locker Service supplies one of the UK’s widest ranges of key cabinets, with capacities from 10 to 600 key sets. Options are available with mechanical or electronic locking systems, making them suitable for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, dealerships and other controlled environments. All units are manufactured from robust steel and finished to professional standards for long-term use.

Locking Options for Key Cabinets

Effective key organisation and controlled access are essential for maintaining security in any organisation. Lockable key cabinets provide a practical, visible way to store and manage keys while reducing the risk of loss or misuse.
Designed for offices, schools, workshops and commercial premises, these cabinets offer a balance of accessibility and protection, making day-to-day key control straightforward and reliable.
High-Security Key Safes
For environments where higher levels of protection are required, key safes provide reinforced construction and enhanced locking. These units are commonly used where fewer key sets must be protected to a higher security standard.
Manufactured from heavy-gauge steel with reinforced doors and multi-point locking, key safes are suitable for commercial environments where accountability and resistance to attack are essential.
Deeper models are available to accommodate bunches, large fobs or specialist keys, while floor-standing versions offer increased capacity with improved access.
Key Cabinet Ranges for Everyday Use
Our standard key cabinet ranges are constructed from pressed and folded steel with durable powder-coated finishes. Adjustable hook bars allow cabinets to be configured for different key lengths and quantities.
These cabinets are ideal for organisations that need organised, secure key storage without the complexity of managed systems. Typical applications include offices, schools, workshops and shared facilities.
Vault-Style Key Storage
Vault-style units are designed for higher-risk environments where additional strength and secure fixing are required. Built from thicker steel than standard cabinets, they are suited to applications where insurer expectations must be met.
Features such as reinforced doors, secure locking and removable indexes provide enhanced control while retaining practical day-to-day usability.
Key Cabinet Sizes and Security Levels
Key cabinets and safes are available in a range of sizes and security levels. Selection depends on the number of keys, the type of keys or fobs, and the level of protection required.
Choosing the Right Key Cabinet
When selecting a key cabinet, consider current requirements and allow additional capacity for future growth. Deeper cabinets are recommended for bunches and modern vehicle fobs.
Assessing Capacity
Count all keys that need to be stored and allow approximately 30–40% extra capacity. This prevents overcrowding and makes day-to-day management easier.
Security Level
Basic cabinets suit low-risk internal areas, while thicker steel and upgraded locks are appropriate for higher-risk environments or insurer-driven requirements.
Installation Considerations
Most cabinets are wall-mounted and should be fixed to solid walls using appropriate anchors. Larger or heavier units may be floor-standing or require professional installation.
