A digital key cabinet operates on the basis of a code that allows those who know it to access the contents. The cabinet itself will be organized into color coded sections, or catalogued and labeled in some way, to allow easy storage of large amounts of keys.
How They work?
A digital key cabinet will usually be mounted on the premises of a business, like a car dealership, a car rental company, a property manger’s office, a maintenance company, a construction site, rental property management or motel or hotel. A digital or electric key safe unit will require power in order to lock and unlock using a press pad or button system that looks much like a small home security panel. Since they are powered by electricity, if you live in a region where the power is not reliable it may be better to choose a manual cabinet or key safe unit for your home or business. However, the electronic models are very simple to operate. Enter the code you desire and set. Change as needed. Give out the code only to those you wish to have access.
Choosing a Model
An electric key safe unit may be very similar to a small safe where you can store some documents as well as keys, others may be a panel where keys are hung on hooks. Some of the newest security safe designs offer some unique features. Aside from keeping keys safe and stored in an organized fashion, but also offers tracking device to trace the key trail of those who have accessed the box or cabinet. This will allow a manager to know who has what key and when, and should there ever be a problem, it will be easy to see who had access and at what time. A digital key cabinet or an electronic key safe unit by GE, Helix, Yale or Phoenix offer easy keypad operation, secure access to those who are authorized and a means to control the keys and property under your care.
