Electronic Key Control Solutions

The Morse Watchman electronic key control system lets you know who took the key, when they took the key, how long they had the key, and when they returned the key. You can also stop certain users from taking specific keys you don’t want them to have.

With a Morse Watchman electronic key control system, you can control as many key sets as you need because of the modular design. All you have to do is add cabinets or modules inside each cabinet. Our system can be stand-alone or added to your network. That means you can access your key control system from anywhere inside your network or from any of your PCs. Reports can be printed on your network printers.

You’ll always have a complete audit trail of every key that was used and anyone who used them. If you need to know who had the key last Tuesday between the hours of 1:00 am and 3:00 am, you’ll have that information at your fingertips.

We’re very proud of our thick steel cabinets, which are completely self-contained and include an internal uninterruptable battery backup that can’t be unplugged. This means your system can operate for up to 48 hours without power. Other systems can be easily unplugged when the drawer or door is open, which may result in improper reporting of who took the key. Our self-contained power and network connections are a critical feature if you want accurate and timely reporting.

We have two types of systems: the KeyWatcher, which locks each individual key set into the slots in the cabinet, and the KeyBank, which allows any authorized user to remove keys from any slot. They both have locking doors, and only authorized users can open the cabinet.

The KeyWatcher mechanically locks each individual key into the cabinet, and specific keys can be restricted to certain users and can’t be removed by unauthorized users. When an authorized user removes a key, they are automatically assigned that key until they return it to the KeyBank or KeyWatcher.

The KeyBank key control system allows any user you grant access to the ability to open the cabinet and remove any key without restriction; however, they are automatically assigned any key they remove, and it generates an alarm so you are notified they took the key.

The KeyWatcher or KeyBank can send a text or email alert if keys aren’t returned when they should be. This is a feature you will learn to love.

KeyWatcher key control systems are more expensive per key set controlled, and there are only 16 key sets per module versus 20 key sets per module with a KeyBank. Each cabinet can hold six modules, and you can add as many cabinets as you want to a single controller so you can control as many key sets as you want.
