System Key Cabinets for Secure Key Management
Loose keys are lost keys. System Key Cabinets provide a secure and organised way to store, identify and control workplace keys from one central location. Depending on the selected model, the range provides storage for between 20 and 600 individual keys.
Adjustable, colour-coded hook bars, visible numbered key tabs and a removable control index help authorised users locate and return keys efficiently. The cabinets are suitable for organisations that need a structured key-management system rather than relying on loose keys, unrecorded key hooks or unsecured drawers.

Organised Key Storage
The adjustable hook bars allow the internal key layout to be customised according to the number and type of keys being managed. Colour coding and numbered positions make it easier to divide keys by building, department, room, vehicle, equipment type or another internal reference system.
Each key tab is designed to hang with its identifying number visible. This helps users find the correct key position and return issued keys to the right location.
Removable Key-Control Index
Key locations can be recorded on the removable control index. Removing the index from the cabinet prevents key-location information from being stored directly beside the keys and supports more controlled key-management procedures.
Sensitive information such as full addresses, alarm codes or access instructions should not be written directly on key tags. Use internal reference numbers that can be matched to a separately controlled register.
Key Lock, Combination or Electronic Access
| Lock Type | Key Benefit |
|---|---|
| Security key lock | Straightforward controlled access using the two keys supplied |
| Combination lock | Allows authorised access without issuing a separate cabinet key |
| Electronic lock | Provides electronically controlled access where this option is available |
Lock availability may vary by cabinet size and configuration. Confirm the required locking option before ordering.
Choosing the Correct Key Capacity
Select a cabinet that accommodates the current key collection while leaving spare positions for future keys. A cabinet should not be selected solely on the exact number of keys held today, particularly where additional rooms, vehicles, buildings or equipment may be added.
| Selection Point | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Current capacity | The total number of keys currently managed |
| Future capacity | Additional key positions likely to be required |
| Key size | The size of keys, rings and identification tags |
| Access control | Whether key, combination or electronic locking is preferred |
| Internal organisation | How keys will be divided by department, location or use |

Key Capacity
System Key Cabinets are available in different capacities to suit small offices, individual departments and large multi-site key collections. The selected model determines the number of available key positions, with capacities ranging from 20 to 600 keys.
When selecting a cabinet, allow spare positions for future keys rather than choosing a model that exactly matches the current requirement. Additional capacity may be needed when rooms, vehicles, equipment or managed properties are added.
| Capacity Requirement | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| Smaller key collections | Offices, small premises, maintenance rooms and individual departments |
| Medium key collections | Schools, commercial buildings, workshops and managed properties |
| Larger key collections | Estates, vehicle fleets, facilities management and multi-site organisations |
Exact model capacities, dimensions and weights should be checked against the individual product option or technical specification before ordering.
Adjustable Hook Bars
The internal hook bars are adjustable, allowing the cabinet layout to be arranged around the site's key-management requirements. Colour coding and numbered positions help separate keys by building, department, floor, vehicle, equipment type or another internal reference.
The arrangement can be changed if the key collection develops, reducing the need to replace the complete cabinet when departments or key groups are reorganised.
Numbered Key Tabs
The supplied key tabs are designed to hang with the identifying number visible. This helps authorised users find the correct key position and return issued keys to the appropriate hook.
For better security, use an internal reference number rather than writing complete addresses, room descriptions or access information directly on the key tag.
Removable Control Index
Key positions can be recorded on the control index supplied with the cabinet. The index can be removed and retained separately, preventing the complete key-location record from being stored directly beside the keys.
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Numbered hook positions | Provide an allocated location for each key |
| Colour-coded hook bars | Help separate keys into identifiable groups |
| Numbered key tabs | Help match each key to its allocated hook position |
| Removable control index | Records key locations and can be stored separately |
Steel Cabinet Construction
The cabinet is manufactured from 1.5 mm steel and incorporates a flush-closing rim designed to help resist forced entry. The durable light-grey painted finish is suitable for offices, schools, workshops, commercial premises and other managed environments.
The level of protection also depends on correct installation, the selected lock and the strength of the supporting wall. The cabinet should be fixed securely to a suitable surface in a controlled location.
Locking Options
The standard configuration is supplied with a security key lock and two operating keys. Combination and electronic locking options are also available for organisations that prefer access without issuing a separate cabinet key.
| Lock Type | Operation | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| Security key lock | Opened using a physical operating key | Straightforward controlled access |
| Combination lock | Opened using an authorised combination | Shared access without issuing cabinet keys |
| Electronic lock | Opened using an electronic access method | Sites requiring electronically controlled access |
Lock availability may vary according to cabinet size and configuration. Confirm the required lock type when selecting the product.
Typical Applications
- Schools, colleges and universities
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Factories, warehouses and workshops
- Healthcare and care facilities
- Hotels and managed accommodation
- Property-management businesses
- Facilities-management departments
- Vehicle and equipment key control
- Security, reception and maintenance areas
Choosing a System Key Cabinet
| Selection Point | What to Check |
|---|---|
