Key control comes in many forms - From the simple and very ineffective and misleading “DO-NOT-DUPLICATE” stamped on the key by your security provider, to the near impossible to duplicate without your knowledge type keys. The fact that your security provider stamps “DO-NOT-DUPLICATE” on your keys, is in a way, doing you an injustice by the fact that it gives you the sense that your keys cannot be duplicated. The fact of the matter is, your keys can be duplicated at will and there is no state law stopping it. The do-it-yourself centers, swap meets, locksmiths and just about anybody that has the correct key blank and a key machine can make duplicate copies of your keys, without your knowledge. On the other end of the scale, there are companies who design, manufacture and patent true key control products that will fit into your existing commercial hardware. These companies approach key control systems using special designed cylinders and key blanks that are only manufactured by them and are protected under United States Patent Laws. How well the key blanks are controlled and protected determines the success or failure of a key control system. These manufacturers offer various levels of key control products that allow you to choose the system that’s right for you. Find out today how a “True Key Control System” will give you the piece of mind that comes from knowning that “You control the keys!”.
