In educational facilities, where safety is a priority, ensure access by the right people to keys and equipment all around the campus
With thousands of keys and often one large master key set, ensuring the right people can find keys and equipment is fundamental
Example uses
Enable room keys across campus to be booked by authorized faculty, students and other staff as needed.
Rather than risk losing a large master key set, have multiple secure key boxes around the campus, accessible by only authorized personnel
Provide emergency services with fast access to site keys near to the building they need entry to rather than wasting valuable time collecting them from the main building.
Improve campus safety and security
Improve safety and security in educational facilities
A simple way to improve onsite access whilst ensure the safety of staff and students.
Have multiple cabinets
Spread key and equipment cabinets around campus, so staff and emergency services can access the keys when and where they need them, not from a central office.
Provide access to authorized personnel
Be confident only authorized students, administrators and contractors can access keys and pooled equipment.
Restrict times of access
Only allow students and staff to access keys and equipment at times of the day when you want them to.
Drive accountability
Make users 100% accountable for the items they use and ensure equipment and keys are only accessed by authorized users.
Manage and control maintenance vehicles
Allow only authorized and trained drivers access to keys – and rotate the usage so there is an even wear and tear of vehicles.
Keep an audit trail
Instantly access an online record of who accessed which keys and when.
Minimize costs of re-keying buildings
The cost of losing a master key can be in the thousands of dollars. Avoid having to re-key buildings, by managing and controlling usage on a granular level.
Easy to use and manage
Use a simple user-friendly system that can be accessed from a PC, Tablet or smartphone.
