Healthcare facilities and hospitals are faced with unique challenges when it comes to physical security, but there are many steps that can be implemented to minimize the potential for adverse incidents. While it is not always possible to control who comes into the facility, security personnel can definitely control the chances of someone internally compromising security.

While the need for key management and asset control systems remains a constant across a wide variety of security applications, the possible configurations of the systems are as varied as the applications themselves. From cabinet size to module selection to system integration, key control systems can be custom designed to accommodate almost any requirement.

In addition to helping to resolve basic security issues and challenges, the use of key control and asset management systems in property management applications has been proven a reliable business proposition that can enhance any bottom line.

Securing and controlling keys has taken many forms over the years, from an individual keeping a single key ring in a drawer to the highly sophisticated technology spanning multiple security market segments that is used in the industry today.

As an emblem, the mechanical key has been incorporated into coats of arms, official seals and flags. It is considered a symbol of authority and power. So it is no surprise that the management and regulation of keys are as important as the keys themselves.
