How to keep valuables safe in the workplace

Think of storage in the workplace and you might think of the good, old-fashioned locker. Well, we have taken the simplicity and user-friendliness of that cabinet and given it a modern makeover.

Our intelligent key cabinets have all the muscle power of traditional storage options, with a whole lot of added brainpower, providing extra levels of security to give you peace of mind all day long. 

Modern-day key cabinets do not rely on outdated manual processes that leave room for human error. Unlike their predecessors, they automate access control and produce detailed audit trails every time a key is removed or returned. 

The result? You have more control over your assets and a clearer view of how they are being used and transferred around the workplace. 

Want to know more? No problem. In this blog post, we will show you how our secure storage lockers and more can help you keep valuables safe at work at all times:

6 ways to approach keeping valuables safe (for business owners and staff)

1. Go Automatic
   Bring your security system into the 21st Century by switching from manual to automatic processes. As described above, the electronic key cabinet is a great example.
   Forget employing someone to manually hand and sign out keys – this gives thieves too many opportunities to swipe valuables. Instead, you can automatically deny and permit access so that only the right people can get close to your high-value items.
   
   
2. Go remote
   In a modern business, you may need to run your company from the other side of the world. Electronic cabinets will keep your valuables locked up tight while you do just that, thanks to smart software that allows you to grant or deny access to items from your smartphone from anywhere in the world.
   
   
3. Think data, data, data
   Trust us, in this modern world, information is your best friend. And data is king. Electronic cabinets keep detailed reports of how items are used, with staff members much more likely to take care of keys and valuables if held accountable for any losses or thefts. 
   
   
4. Staff focused
   Double up your security with modern surveillance cameras, ideal for monitoring large areas like car dealership parking lots. Many of today’s models include deterrent features such as strobe lights to discourage thefts and the ability to notify authorities sooner. 
   
   
5. Invest in storage lockers
   Intelligent storage lockers come with all the same fantastic safety benefits as modern-day key cabinets. Perfect for retail stores and university departments, these locker systems can be designed to protect a range of expensive hand-held devices like mobile phones, scanners, printers and laptops. They also come with built-in charging capabilities.
   
   
6. Maximize key storage in limited spaces
   If you need to secure a large number of keys but have limited room, our HC key cabinets are the perfect solution. Specifically designed for the property management sector, they offer tight control over a high volume of keys in a small footprint. They benefit from all the same security features as our other cabinets, but with the beauty of a compact design that fits seamlessly into smaller offices.
