A key control system enhances security and accountability by tracking the issuance and return of keys.

When a key is issued, the borrower completes a key control pass. The issuing office retains part of the pass and places it on the empty hook in the key cabinet, while the borrower receives the remainder with the key.

This process automatically updates the key control register, providing a master record of all keys issued. This register is useful for tracking keys, especially if someone else needs the same key, a key is not returned, or equipment is missing from a room.

When the key is returned, it is placed back on the hook, and the issuing office destroys the retained portion of the pass. The borrower returns their portion, which is signed and handed back as proof of return. The register is updated with the date and time of the key's return.

Key control registers can be fully branded and customized to meet your specific requirements, improving security, simplifying key management, and providing a clear audit trail
