Avoid public corridors, open reception areas, waiting rooms and unsupervised entrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cabinet should be fixed securely to a suitable wall or structure, positioned at a practical working height and given enough space for the door to open fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The best location balances security, convenience and control.<\/strong> A cabinet that is too exposed creates unnecessary risk. A cabinet that is too remote or awkward to use encourages shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-key-cabinet-placement-matters\">Why Key Cabinet Placement Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key cabinet can hold access to many other rooms, vehicles, stores, cupboards, plant areas and assets. Its physical location therefore matters as much as its lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>who can see the cabinet;<\/li>\n<li>who can physically approach it;<\/li>\n<li>whether authorised use can be supervised;<\/li>\n<li>whether routine access is practical;<\/li>\n<li>whether users are likely to create shortcuts;<\/li>\n<li>and whether labels or access routines are visible to unauthorised people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This page owns the <strong>physical location<\/strong>. Wider responsibility, issue and return procedures belong in <a href=\"\/blog\/manage-keys-workplace-uk\/\"><strong>Managing Keys in the Workplace UK<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install-key-cabinets-staff-only-areas\">Install Key Cabinets in Staff-Only Areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A controlled staff-only area is usually the strongest starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suitable locations may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a facilities office;<\/li>\n<li>a site manager&#8217;s office;<\/li>\n<li>a secure administration office;<\/li>\n<li>a staff-only back office;<\/li>\n<li>a controlled room behind reception;<\/li>\n<li>a stores office;<\/li>\n<li>a transport office;<\/li>\n<li>or a security office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The location should reduce casual visibility while remaining practical for the staff who genuinely need regular access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"avoid-public-high-traffic-areas\">Avoid Public and High-Traffic Areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key cabinets should not normally be installed where customers, visitors, pupils, contractors or delivery drivers can easily observe or approach them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locations to avoid can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the public side of reception counters;<\/li>\n<li>public corridors;<\/li>\n<li>waiting areas;<\/li>\n<li>open customer-facing offices;<\/li>\n<li>unsupervised entrances;<\/li>\n<li>and shared spaces routinely used by visitors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If reception staff manage keys, the cabinet is usually better positioned in a controlled back-office area rather than in direct public view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"keep-cabinet-near-responsible-team\">Keep the Cabinet Near the Responsible Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cabinet should be close enough to the responsible staff that normal use remains convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If authorised users have to walk a long distance or repeatedly","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key cabinets should be installed in a secure, controlled and practical location.
