Key cabinets keeping keys safe

August 17, 2018 Key storage, Safety products, Storage

What to consider when choosing a key cabinet. Key cabinets come in a wide variety of sizes with a wide range of security features and locking methods. You don’t want to pay for functionality that you would not need or use.

When choosing a key storage cabinet, you should consider the following:

Number of keys to be stored

Size of the keys being stored

The resistance to breaking in

Locking method

Size of key cabinets

Key vault will store keys from 20 to 100

System key cabinets store keys from 20 to 600

Padlock system key cabinets store 24, 50 and 100 keys

High security key cabinets store 60 to 300 keys

Size of the keys being stored

For large bunches of keys, it is often more cost effective to select a System Key Cabinet and remove every other key rail to provide more keyspace.

KEY VAULT DEEP Designed to meet the requirements of insurance companies in the control, tracking and security of keys associated with risk to valuables or property, our range of Key Vaults offer twice as much security and strength provided by standard key cabinets. Constructed from 2.5mm fabricated steel with a flush closing door which includes removable hinge pins for easy upgrading, they are ideal for commercial use. These cabinets are also supplied as standard with a half euro profile cylinder that can be upgraded to integrate with an existing master key or security system. As with the System cabinets, the Key Vault has adjustable hook bars, a removable control index, sign-out tabs (to record a paper trail of key usage) and is also available in a deeper model for the storage of bunches of keys.

KEY VAULT PADLOCK A heavy duty deep range of key cabinets designed specifically for padlocks or bunches of keys. The key hooks are longer than standard, double spaced and staggered to provide the additional space required. Constructed from 2.5mm fabricated steel with a flush closing door which includes removable hinge pins for easy upgrading, they are ideal for commercial use. These cabinets are also supplied as standard with a half euro profile cylinder that can be upgraded to integrate with an existing master key or security system. As with the System cabinets, the Key Vault has adjustable hook bars, a removable control index, sign-out tabs (to record a paper trail of key usage) and is also available in a deeper model for the storage of bunches of keys.
System Cabinet Deep For larger requirements, our range of System Cabinets Deep provide the extra space required to accommodate bunches or a mixture of bunches and individual keys and are available with 35, 48, 100, 150 or 200 hanging hooks. Constructed from 1.5mm pressed and folded steel and secured with a choice of five locking options. Each model is finished in a robust powder coat paint finish (RAL 7035) and has a removable control index for out-of-hours peace of mind, colour-coded hook bars and tags to ensure quick identification, both of which are numbered. These System Cabinets Deep are best suited to commercial and industrial use for key control and tracking.

The resistance to breaking in

Key security if you just need to store keys in a secure space for just organising then a Key Store or a System cabinet will suffice. IF you want to ensure that opportunist fives breaking into a car showroom are going away without the cars then a key safe is what you need.

here are situations where only the best security solution is good enough and in those situations we recommend our range of High Security Key Safes. Constructed from 3mm steel, secured with a three-way locking mechanism, shooting 20mm bolts and a VdS approved lock as standard our high security key safes give peace of mind to banks, police stations, and prestige motor dealers throughout the UK.

These high security key safes are designed to increase security and prevent unauthorised access in domestic, commercial and light industrial situations. They feature adjustable key bar and hooks to match the keys they keep secure and are able to be fitted with a combination or electronic locking mechanism.

Not only are our high security key safes flexible on the inside but we have designed a range of products to suit all needs. Our deep key safes are designed to allow the secure storage of key bunches and the floor standing option allows for high capacity while remaining easy to access using key panels and telescopic slides.

Top 4 Security Concerns For Lockers

Top 4 Security Concerns For Lockers

Security Concerns For Lockers

Lockers come in handy for people who want to temporarily store their things in secure locations. There are several different types of lockers that provide this luxury. These lockers range from standard lockers to coin lockers and everything that falls in between. In most cases, there is some mechanism in place that is meant to keep the lockers secure. These mechanisms can be pre-installed locks, padlocks, or simply the material that is used to craft the locker. Although there are many benefits to using lockers, institutions need to be aware of the security concerns that can compromise lockers.

Shimming

One of the main security vulnerabilities that plague lockers is the fact that they can be shimmed. This does not apply to every single locker, but mostly to those that utilize padlocks or spring-operated latches. In order to shim a lock, one would only require a thin piece of metal or plastic. This makes shims pretty easy to come by. The manner in which a shim works is very simple. It is basically used to retract the latch/locking pawl of a lock. In padlocks, this is done by creating a barrier between the locking pawl and the shackle.

The same concept applies to other types of locks that are not padlocks. As I said before, any lock that uses spring operated/spring loaded mechanisms is susceptible to shimming. Being able to identify this concern gives institutions the opportunity to work to rectify them. In the case of padlocks, it is always best to use padlocks that have ball bearings. Locks with ball bearings are much more secure and these will negate the possibility of the lock being shimmed.

Cutting

As the sub-title suggests, this security concern is pretty straightforward. In lieu of shimming, criminals can opt to cut the locks that protect lockers. This is a major security concern that people need to be aware of because criminals tend to target the lockers that they know they can easily break into. As always, knowledge is key. Therefore, knowing that your lock can be attacked by cutting helps you prepare.

The main factors that will determine if your lock can be cut are material that is made of and the shackle size of the lock (if you are using a padlock). It is crucial to make sure that you use an appropriately sized shackle that does not give criminals enough room to cut between the lock and the hasp. Also, it is always best to use locks that are made from alloy metals, as these are some of the strongest locks on the market. These locks will offer up much more resistance to any criminal attempting to cut the lock.

Picking

Lockpicking is very popular among criminals and enthusiasts alike. The only difference between the criminal and the enthusiast is that enthusiasts know not to pick a lock that does not belong to them, whereas the criminal really does not care. In this instance, it is important to be aware that lockers are highly susceptible to picking if there is a keyway. Essentially, if there is a keyway available, a criminal will most likely be able to pick the lock.

To circumvent this concern, it is best to use combination locks or electronic combination locks in lieu of padlocks or pre-installed locks with keyways. The use of combination locks takes the keyway off the table and minimizes the security vulnerabilities. Another available option simply involves upgrading to higher security locks that will be extremely difficult to pick. Institutions can enlist the help of locksmiths to upgrade some of their pre-installed locks, and as an additional security measure, it would be wise to rekey locks as well.

Prying

This security concern focuses less on the locking mechanism and more on the locker itself. There are times where criminals will disregard the lock completely and decide to attack the door. In most cases, this occurs when they know that the hinges of the locker door are vulnerable and exposed, or that the material of the door itself is weak enough to be pried free.

It is important to make sure that the hinges for locker doors are facing inwards so that they are not exposed to criminals. If the hinges are facing outwards, it will be much easier for criminals to attack the hinges and pry them off. The material of the locker door is also very important. If the door is hollow and made of a weak metal, there will be very little in place to resist attacks from criminals.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that lockers are a valuable asset, and they are a great storage tool. However, there are various security concerns that revolve around them. This is why it is important for people to be aware of the security vulnerabilities of lockers so that they can adequately guard against them, and keep their belongings safe.
