Camlock’s key to management

In many organisations, the keys for vehicles or storage areas have to be available for a number of people to use or access. Problems begin when keys are taken and it is not clear who has them, or even if the holder has left the site. Not knowing who has the key is, at best, a nuisance. Worse, it represents a clear breach of security.

Camlock Systems’ Octagon locking system is helping one company – Alusett – to provide a simple system for solving the problem of controlling the release of keys to personnel, knowing who has them and making sure that they are returned to the correct place.

Each location on the patented Alusett Key Manager board has a retaining position and an access position. Every position uses a Camlock short-bodied Octagon lock (there are a total of 50 locks on each standard board).

In operation, no retained key can be removed without being released by a fob inserted in the adjacent access position. Authorisation to remove a key is endorsed by the allocation of a numbered access fob. While the key is absent, the access fob cannot be removed from its place on the Alusett Key Manager, identifying the key holder.

The access fob will be released only when the keys are returned to the correct position. A simple solution ensuring client confidence.
