A prominent mental and behavioral health network faced a challenge in preventing the loss, theft, or unauthorized duplication of keys. The network operated a 24-hour hospital and drug addiction treatment center, and the issue revolved around their key rings. Staff members were frequently taking keys off the rings, leading to a serious incident where a key granting access to all hospital doors was removed. Consequently, the network had to conduct a complete facility re-key to ensure the compromised security was addressed.
Despite having a relatively new key control system, the facility encountered an issue with keys being removed from the key rings. To address this problem, RA-Lock suggested integrating tamper-proof key rings into their existing key system. Tamper-proof key rings are widely regarded as the industry standard by security professionals, and Key Systems, Inc. (KSI) offers the ultimate solution in terms of strength and durability. These serialized stainless-steel rings provide multiple layers of protection for facility keys, ensuring their secure storage. The design is such that any unauthorized attempt to open them would be detected, effectively preventing asset theft and security breaches.
The advantages and outcomes of implementing our stainless-steel tamper-proof key rings proved to be outstanding. These key rings create a permanent seal when closed or crimped, effectively preventing nurses and staff from attempting to open and remove keys. The inclusion of unique serial numbers on each key ring allows for closer monitoring and auditing of key users based on their assigned rings. As a result, nurses and staff can now carry out their job duties with confidence, knowing that crucial keys won’t go missing from the key ring set.
Previously, the facility had to rekey an average of six doors per year. However, since adopting tamper-proof key rings, this need for re-keying has been eliminated. This has led to significant time and cost savings for the facility, while also reducing potential liabilities. The success of these tamper-proof key rings has brought about a positive transformation in the management of keys and bolstered the overall security of the facility.
