Enhance estate management with smart keyholding solutions

THE CHALLENGES OF TRADITIONAL KEYHOLDING

Managing education estates, from early years premises to schools, academies, and university campuses, requires strict compliance and meticulous risk management to ensure duty of care and safeguarding of staff, pupils and visitors.

Among the numerous considerations, ineffective keyholding arrangements can become a significant obstacle to smooth day-to-day operations, particularly for large estates and campuses with multiple buildings.

One common solution is to store keys in a central, secure location. However, this approach requires keys to be labelled, manually signed-out on collection and then returned, which can quickly become a time-consuming task for everyone involved. With keys changing hands frequently, the risk of misplacement increases, leading to unnecessary costs for key and lock replacement.

Additionally, pre-planned third-party access is often required for external facilities management (FM) providers, such as after-hours cleaners and building maintenance engineers, or local groups using the premises for evening classes and sports activities.

IS SENTRIGUARD® THE ANSWER?

Fortunately, there is a cost-effective solution to these keyholding challenges! Keynetics’ key management systems allow you to securely store keys at the point of need, with all access activity tracked for easy auditing.

Our solutions include three components: a commercially graded electronic key safe, an app for quick and secure access to key safes, and a Platform for the remote management of multiple key safes and users.

Access can be granted to a specific individual (or revoked) in just a few clicks. The systems’ key detection feature notifies allocated platform administrators via email or sms message if keys are not returned to the key safe. Furthermore, an emergency access code can be generated on the platform and shared with the designated individual whenever immediate access is required by emergency services or maintenance teams.

Keynetics’ key management systems are trusted by various schools, academies and their FM suppliers across the UK, delivering tangible operational benefits and full access traceability.
