You’ll always know who has the key, when they took it, how long they had it and when they returned it. The Morse Watchman electronic key control system is the ultimate in key control and key security. Or, if you want to stop certain users from taking certain keys, we can help. 

Do you have multiple sets of the same keys, high security access areas, times when no one should check a key out or any other access issues? Do you want a complete audit trail on who took a key, when they took it and when it was returned? Would you like an email if someone has a key after hours or takes a key that they shouldn’t? Or, would you like to stop someone from taking a key in the first place. We can help.

With a Morse Watchman system you can control as many keys as you need because of the modular design. All you do is add cabinets. Our system can be stand alone or it can be added to your network and our key control software can reside on any of your PC’s and reports can be printed on your network printers. 

You’ll always have a complete audit trail and reporting capabilities for every key and everyone who accessed the cabinet or took a key and you’ll allows know what keys are out and who has them.

We’re proud of our key control cabinets which are completely self-contained and we have an uninterruptable battery backup located internally which can’t be unplugged. Our system will last on battery power 48 hours or more depending on usage. With other key control systems the power can be unplugged or the computer cable can be removed which diminishes security. With other key control systems it’s easy to unplug the power or pull the computer cable while the DRAWER or DOOR is open and the keys can removed and the person who took them isn’t recorded. Our self contained power and cable connections are a critical feature incorporated in the Morse Watchman system. 

We have two basic types of key control systems, the KeyWatcher® which is a “locking” system and the KeyBank® which is a “non-locking”. Both key control systems securely lock keys inside a cabinet that can only be opened by authorized users. 

Our KeyWatcher® key control system mechanically locks all the keys into the cabinet and specific keys can only be removed by the specific people you want. You can also restrict the times when keys can be removed, etc. 

Our KeyBank® key control system allows any authorized user to remove any key in the system while the door is open although each time a “Smart Key ID Ring” is removed it records who removed it and when it was returned. 

The KeyWatcher® locking system prevents any user from removing a particular key in the first place and the KeyBank® non-locking system simply records that they removed a key they weren’t authorized to take. Both key control systems record who took the key, how long they had it, and when they returned it. Locking key control systems are also more expensive and they hold fewer keys per module because of the locking mechanism.

Authorized users can access keys by using a proximity card reader, bar code reader, fingerprint scanner or hand reader along with a password for additional security, if you want.
