Key management systems

Surface Vault

One key or one key ring, behind a compact stainless steel vault on the wall. Your access control system or the Security Asset Manager releases it and sees whether the key is still in place.

Models

One key or a whole ring.

Two models, the same sensors and the same way of connecting. The difference is what goes in and how the key is held.

Features.

What the vault does, and what it deliberately does not need.

• Connects to what you already have Access control, a fire panel, the Security Asset Manager or any device with a relay output that supplies enough power.
• Door stays closed until released The user presses the door open once the system grants access. If the vault is not opened, it locks again after the time-out period.
• Door sensor Reports remotely whether the cover is open or closed.
• Asset presence sensor Reports remotely whether the key is in place or has been taken.
• LED confirmation Illuminates as soon as the vault is unlocked and access is granted.
• Mechanical key override With a cylinder, so the key stays reachable if the power fails.
• No external fasteners Nothing on the outside to tamper with.
• Surface mount On a wall or another suitable structure.

Dimensions.

Both models are compact enough to sit beside a door or a reader.

Dimensions converted from inches (2.31–4.31" wide, 7.63–8.13" high, 2.12–2.63" deep). Dimensions subject to change.

Where the Surface Vault fits.

Wherever a single key has to hang in a fixed place and be monitored remotely: an emergency key at the entrance, the lift key, the key to a meter cupboard or a plant room. For whole key stocks, look at the Keybox or the Security Asset Manager.

Frequently asked questions about the Surface Vault.

• What is the Surface Vault for? {{ pfIcon0 }}

  For a single key or one key ring that must be available in a fixed place and monitored remotely: an emergency key by a door, a lift key or the key to a plant room.

• How is the vault controlled? {{ pfIcon1 }}

  Through your existing access control system, a fire panel, the Security Asset Manager or any other device with a relay output that supplies enough power. The vault has no software of its own. The full explanation is under How it works.

• What happens in a power failure? {{ pfIcon2 }}

  There is a mechanical key override with a cylinder, so the key stays reachable without power.

• Does the system see whether the key is still there? {{ pfIcon3 }}

  Yes. Besides the door sensor there is an asset presence sensor that reports whether the key is in place. Both report their state to your system as a contact closure.

• Which models are available? {{ pfIcon4 }}

  Two: the Single Key Model for one key in direct entrapment, and the Key Ring Model for a ring of up to fifteen keys. See Models.
