Should Your Business Invest in a Key Box?

If you have a business with many workers on staff, surely you could benefit from a commercial key cabinet. How many times have you or an employee lost a key, been locked out, or had something taken from your office?  If it hasn’t been an issue yet, it will.  A high quality key box or key cabinet is the defense to this problem for both small and large businesses alike.

Which Key Solution is the Best Fit For You?

If You Are just delving Into Your quest to find the perfect key box, chances are, you’re pretty overwhelmed with all the potential ways to go.  Do you want a key box or key cabinet?  A one tag or two tag system?  There are a lot of options, but selecting the one that is right for you doesn’t need to be a tough decision. Sizes of key boxes range from tiny boxes that can hold 10-15 keys to commercial key boxes that hold thousands of keys.

With so many key box choices, selecting a key box really is a matter of the the way you intend to use it.

The most important decision you need to look at is to decide if you need a one tag system of a two tag system.

One Tag System: In a one tag key cabinet application, the key tag hooks have no numbers on them. The key tags themselves number the key hooks.  In most cases this is the best choice in basic key box applications.

Possible applications for a one tag key box system might be golf courses, small office environments, or even taxi cab services.

Two Tag System: In a two tag key box system, every key and hook is determined by a number from one to 100 per panel, in consecutive order. The two tag key box has both a file key tag, as well as a duplicate key tag for each number.  This makes sure that will always be one key that is always on the hook – this adds improved security to the key box, as the secondary key is the only one that’s used.

Two tag key box systems are usually best in government or larger business situations.  Universities,clinics, and motels are all examples of facilities that should use a two-tag system.

Who is the Primary User of the Key Cabinet?

Almost all key boxes are made of high quality steel, but there are some other things to consider depending on who will be using the key box.  Do you need a thick glass door so that You Don‘t need to open the key cabinet to look at the keys?  This is particularly useful in one tag systems, where it is obvious to see if a key is missing.

The lock system you decide to apply will also be an important decision to make.  most of the time there are three options for locks – manual combination locks, key locks or digital lock systems.  Which lock system you select all depends on your application and how many employees will be accessing the key box.  If you’re going to have many people accessing keys, choosing an electronic lock system could work in your favor, as you won’t have a lot of keys scattered around, and the combination can be easily updated.
