Electronic audit trail key cabinets explained

It is surprising how many businesses still use a manual logbook system when storing keys at their premises, or don’t record usage of the keys at all. The safe storage of keys is important for all businesses, but car garages/dealerships and estate agents are among those who store the greatest number of keys. Electronic audit trail key cabinets allow for the secure storage of keys, as well as holding staff accountable always for the use and return of keys.

How do electronic audit trail key cabinets work?

The lock on these key storage cabinets allows management to check the time and date when the key cabinet was opened, as well as giving them information on which member of staff opened it. Each member of staff can be assigned a code for the safe, with only those with a code being able to gain access.

Management can then obtain a full audit trail by connecting their laptop via USB and downloading the information stored on the safe.

We’ve selected a few examples of audit key cabinets for varying quantities of key storage. Each of these KeySecure cabinets have the following features:
