Key Capacity
Determining what you need to put inside the key cabinet can greatly assist you with narrowing down your options. Make a list of the keys and other things you need to keep so you can make the best decision on which one to buy. It would not be ideal if your key cabinet can’t fit all the keys and cards required to store within it. Take note of the size and quantities of items you want to store. Make sure that there will be enough spacing between your products to keep them well organised.

Materials
The durability of your key cabinet should be sufficient to fend off tampering efforts from criminals. It should be constructed of a strong material that isn’t readily damaged or cut through. To keep your belongings safe, pick a key cabinet with frames made of aluminium, brass, or stainless steel. The ability of the cabinet to resist theft depends on its thickness and durability.
Locking Options
There are many locking options available for key cabinets, you have to make sure you choose the locking option that best suits your business. If you decide to go with a traditional mechanical key, make sure the traditional key you use to lock the cabinet is differentiated from the rest of keys kept inside the cabinet itself. Other options include keyless access systems such as electronic digital key pad, and combination lock. They would provide you with more convenience if you are afraid of losing your key.

Nothing is more unpleasant than having to try opening your cabinet several times before you eventually get in, especially when you’re in a rush.
Labelled Key Tags
The best approach to maintain your keys, keeping them organised is by labelling the key tags. It is always wise to organise your keys and create a labelling system that best suits your organisational needs with the help of racks available in your key cabinet. Labels are crucial as they maintain order and facilitate your daily operations. Popular brands such as Telkee key safes come with matching key tags to make your organisation much more easy.
