Any time you feel the potential loss to the company would exceed the cost of upgrading you should seriously consider updating your system. Red flags should be such things as removal of an employee who had keys, missing inventory with no evidence of forced entry, and the fact that you haven't updated the locks for a long time. We strongly urge you to consider a restricted key system.

Depending in the amount of loss, you may want to consider monitoring (CCTV) systems, user logging, time limited access, and/or a key control system. We can help you find a solution that fits your budget, we are always here to answer your questions.

When a lock is re-keyed the "bitting" of the lock is changed to allow a new key to be used but exclude the old key. The bitting is set by the internal parts that move when the key is inserted. The bitting must match the cuts on the key or the lock will not release. By using your old lock mechanism that is still in good working order you effectively have a "new" lock at a greatly reduced price.

While hiding keys is never as secure as keeping personal possession of them there are a variety of devices that let you store keys for emergency use.

Now, however, there are newer digital locks that perform functions impossible for the mechanical types, such as: usage logging, time and data access control, single use function and invalid code alarm.
