Key Control Systems questions
Practical answers about this specific commercial service.
Is a master key system the same as key control?
No. Master keying defines access relationships. Key control governs authorization, duplication, issuance and accountability.
What should happen when an employee does not return a key?
The response depends on the key’s access level and the system. Rekeying affected cylinders may be appropriate after a risk review.
