A trip to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) is usually not anyone’s idea of a fun outing, but it is typically a safe outing. From video surveillance cameras to patrolling security guards to key control and management systems, DMV facilities are well protected from potential threats or dangerous activity.

Security procedures in many retail stores are often a balancing act between convenience and security. Customers want to browse and purchase without restrictions and staff and management want to serve customers quickly and efficiently. In order to achieve these goals, you will often see sales staff wearing a coiled wrist band with keys attached to allow them to easily access secured display cases for jewelry, cameras and other small, valuable items, depending on the store.

Key control systems are commonly used across the country in municipal buildings such as police stations, administrative offices, museums, libraries and more. The systems are designed to safely store keys when not in use and, when accessed, provide a data trail for auditing purposes.
