Protected Keyways Provide Greater Security Assurance
May 22, 2012
Easily track key inventory, prevent unauthorized key duplication and control building access in one step.
Key control is a very common concern for many of our customers, with most people telling us they have no idea exactly how many of a given key are out there and who has them. This means that, at any given time, any of those old keys can still access your building – unless you do something about it. Re-keying the locks is certainly recommended, but does not solve the problem because most people use standard keyways – which use keys that can easily be duplicated. The solution offering you true key control is the Medeco Patented Protected Keyway. With Medeco, your keys don’t just say Do Not Duplicate, they mean it! They are protected by patent, and Lappen Security is the only place in our area with the key blanks and machine that can cut them. In addition, we offer a secure audit trail, signature log, and only cut keys for authorized people. With all of this, you can rest assured that keys you issue have not been duplicated before being returned. Contact Lappen Security to learn more.
