How does the system work?

For each key (or bunch of keys) to be stored, the plugboard features a pair of linked key management slots, the first being a key "Retention Peg" slot, the other being an "Access Peg" slot (the Access Peg is also sometimes referred to as the release peg).

Key Retention Pegs are numbered to match the numbered key slots on the board. Keys are secured to the Retention Peg with the special anti tamper seals provided and the Retention Peg locked into the board.

key slots are arranged in pairs around the centralised number - the Retention peg to the left of the number, the access peg to the right

keys are secured to the Key Retention Pegs with the plastic & wire security seals

keys are attached to the Retention Peg with a `write on` anti tamper security seal

Who`s got the keys?

Access Pegs are issued to each person authorised to remove keys from the board.

Details of who the uniquely identifiable (colour coded and numbered) Access Pegs are issued to, are recorded at time of issue.

As a key Retention Peg with its attached keys can only be removed from the board by inserting an Access Peg (which itself is automatically locked into the board until the keys are returned), it is always possible to identify who has any missing keys by identifying who the Access Peg was issued to.

What do I need to order?

The wall mounted system offers a simple and practical solution for controlled key issue and key management. 

For many customers, a simple wall mounted plugboard system in its robust stainless steel frame offers the ideal key issue and tracking solution.

Where key security is critical, the standard wall mount board can be installed within a robust, dual locking security cabinet, which is available as an optional extra.

Retention Pegs

Each board is supplied fully populated with key Retention Pegs (plus one security seal for each peg)

Access / Release Pegs

Access Pegs are supplied as standard in the ratio 1 Access Peg to each 5 Retention Pegs. i.e. 5 Access Pegs are supplied as standard with the 25 key plugboard system, 10 Access Pegs for the 50 key system, etc.

(additional / replacement:  `Retention Pegs` and `Access Pegs` are available for separate order as required). 

Because the system is modular, you can easily grow your system as your business need expands.

Add key management modules (25 keys per module) as required.
