Strengthening Security by Using Commercial Locks

• After an emergency has occurred,
  discussing key storage cabinet or commercial
  locks is a kind of 'after the horses have bolted'
  talk. But, the talk helps to prevent repetition.
  A number of new key cabinets and improved locks
  have come into stores to help beef up security.
• Protect the Key itself Though highly
  inconvenient to accept, the fact is stolen keys
  are at the root of most thefts. Installing
  high-end commercial locks may not be of much
  avail, if someone steals the keys. Businesses
  have suffered severe losses and embarrassment in
  many cases, where stolen have been used to pilfer
  access cards, alarm codes, IT passwords, and PIN
  numbers.
• Key controller box is a unique devise
  to protect master keys, cash box keys and such
  very important keys. Of course, this is strictly
  and emergency measure the only way to take out
  the contents is to break the key less box open.
  Non-electronic, water resistant and costing a
  little over 30, this key storage cabinet can be
  thought of as key to the key.
• Key storage cabinet helps controlling
  issue of keys for day-to-day usage, Models vary
  for storing anywhere from 30 to 60 keys, manually
  or electronically operated most of these are
  available in neutral colors and look well on any
  type of wall. Prices are roughly between 30 and
  80.
•  
• Lock Talk Hundreds of types of
  commercial locks, keyless locks, dead bolts,
  hospital push/pulls, entrance knob operated and
  so on are available. Ensure that you buy only
  BHMA certified and ANSI standard commercial
  locks. The grades indicate the strength,
  materials, fire resistance, finish, and other
  parameters.
• For storerooms and robust security
  areas, heavy-duty Grade-1 lever commercial locks,
  (in extremely attractive satin chrome finish,)
  are ideal. The stainless steel latch bolt,
  6-cylinder models are non-corrosive and are
  difficult to pick. Keyless remotely operated
  electric strike locks, furnished with 24V/12V DC
  are useful for front entrances and gates
  security person or the receptionist can open or
  lock the door without leaving their place. These
  are for installation on wood frames and have
  built-in provision for electrical connections.
  Though categorized as commercial locks, they are
  attractive, reasonably priced (about 350), and
  quite helpful at large homes and apartments
•  
• The number of models by price, quality,
  and brands are far too many to list at a place.
  One suggestion you are sure find useful is -
  prices are less at online hardware stores. For
  example you can get hold of top branded grade-2
  commercial locks with stainless steel latch bolt
  for around 115 or an electronic, digital
  cylindrical, alarm keyless door lock for under
  470, free shipping included. That should be
  indeed cheerful news.
