Keeping control of the keys in any organisation can be the biggest threat to breaching security!
Large or small, organsiations with multiple key holders run a serious risk of loosing control of who has keys and how many are in circulation, unless their system uses ‘Restricted Keys’ and a register of keys issued is maintained.
Restricted keys are keys cut on a unique ‘profile’, or shape of key, available only to specified suppliers and issued only on the express authority of the suite owner. This ensures that duplicate keys are not obtained illicetly, either for unauthorised, illegal activity or simply for the convenience of occasional users.
Even in the home, restricted keys improve the security of premises by ensuring that temporary key holders, decorators, builders or cleaners for instance are unable to obtain copies of those keys and giving peace of mind to the owner that as long as keys are reurned after use, their home will not be susseptible to unlawful access after the event.
“I never realised just how many people had keys to my home until I sat down and thought about it!”
In commercial environments where a number of employees are official key holders, whether for an external gate to a vehicle compond for instance or for access to an entire building, if the key system used is not restricted then anyone may obtain copy keys, either to be passed on for illegal purposes or retained after that person no longer works for that organisation, either way control of security in that organisation has been compromised.
Voluntary organisations are repeat offenders when it comes to ‘irresponsible control’ of security. Churches, youth organisations, schools, etc. where multiple key holders may be authorized to provide acccess to various people out of hours often sacrifice secuirity for the sake of convenience but if something untoward were to happen, i.e. a breach of security and property was damaged or stolen, then the finger of suspicion may be pointed to unsuspecting, innocent people if it is known that they allowd or encouraged the unauthorized copying of keys, often causing further internal distrust and ill will.
“A little consideration before an incident occurs can often prevent a lot of unnecessary trouble!”
The use of restricted keys in all these situation, removes the occurence of break-ins, unauthorised entry and theft by people who would not under normal circumstances have been trusted with the security of the building.
Restricted keys are readily available from reputable locksmiths and often at little more expense than non restricted systems.
“Remember – Always use a Master Locksmiths Association ‘Approved Company’ when considering your security needs. You can be assured that our trained staff will provide a quality service with integrity to give you total peace of mind.”

Authorized Access Comes Of Age
Keys cut free of charge and charity will benefit!!
Bury Hospice is to benefit from the anniversary year celebrations of a local company in its 21st year of trading.
Authorized Access Security Centre, established by Bury man David Ramsden in 1989, intends to carry out a number of special events over the coming year to celebrate it’s 21st anniversary of commencing trading and raise money for one it’s longest standing customers, Bury Hospice, in the process.
The first event will be a ‘Christmas FREE Key Cutting Opportunity’, to be held on Friday 11th December, at Authorized Access’s Security Centre on Bolton Street, Bury. Any customer will be able to have two standard keys cut free of charge, for a donation to the Bury Hospice collection.
The offer means that private or business customers could have 2 keys cut for whatever donation they felt appropriate to the charity. David Ramsden says “this is open to anyone we hope that many customers, new and old will take advantage of what really will be quite a saving, up to £12 and of course any donation at all would be welcomed for Bury Hospice and everyone will be a winner. Anyone knowing they are needing keys to be cut and can wait until Friday 11th December can simply come into our shop and have them cut, enjoying a nibble and a drink while they wait”.
Authorized Access can trace work done for the Hospice back into the 90’s, both at the Hospice Shop on the Rock and their main site on Dumers Lane. Says David “while also working with other charities in Bury, we feel that the Hospice was probably the first to have account status with us and we know they do valuable work within the community”.
Other events will take place in 2010, all of which will help to raise money for the very worthy service provided by the Bury Hospice.
