Key Control Cabinets & Key Systems

(Showing 20 of 20)

Every dealership loses keys. The question is whether your problem is finding them or knowing who had them last, because those need different equipment. Key control cabinets organise; a key management system creates accountability.

For storage, economy steel cabinets ship ready to use with fobs, rings and numbered stickers already assigned, in 20, 48 and 105 key capacities. The heavy duty cabinet uses 1in hooks sized for the large fobs and remotes most modern inventory carries, which economy cabinets crowd, and an additional panel takes it from 96 to 192 keys without a second cabinet. Where keys travel, portable key boards run from 32 to 105 hooks with spring locks that stop rings dropping in transit, and rollable vinyl cases store flat where wall space is short.

When the question is who took a key rather than where it is, the Cobra key management system is mechanical and needs no software or login: each user inserts their own numbered access key to release a set of vehicle keys, and theirs is held until the keys come back. Size it by concurrent users as well as key count, since a department with more staff than access keys ends up sharing them, which defeats the point. Four sizes run from 30 keys and 5 users up to 160 keys and 35 users.

Key Control Cabinets and Key Systems

Every dealership loses keys. The question is whether the problem is finding them or knowing who had them last, because those need different equipment. A cabinet organises; a key management system creates accountability.

Wall-Mounted Cabinets

Economy powder-coated steel cabinets ship ready to use with plastic key fobs, rings, and numbered stickers already assigned to each hook, so the system works the day it arrives. Choose 20-key for a small shop or satellite location, 48-key for a typical service department, or 105-key for a primary wall position.

For heavier use, the heavy duty key cabinet is 18-gauge steel with 1in hooks sized specifically for large key rings and electronic fobs, which is what most modern inventory carries and what standard cabinets will not take. It holds 96 keys and expands to 192 with the additional key panel, so capacity doubles without buying a second cabinet. See all car key control cabinets.

Portable Key Boards

Keys often need to go out to the lot rather than stay on a wall. Masonite key boards have spring-lock hooks that stop rings falling off in transit and metal reinforced trim on the edges. Capacities run 32, 38, 55, 75, and 105 hooks, with built-in handles on the larger boards. Useful for inventory walks, inspections, and dealerships with vehicles spread across several lots.

Rollable Key Cases

Where a rigid board is awkward, a rollable key case rolls up for storage and transport, then unrolls and hangs from grommets for use. Soft weather-resistant vinyl with plastic safety hooks, available in 30-key and 50-key capacities. The compact stored size suits shops without free wall space.

Cobra Key Management Systems

When the question is who took a key, not where it is. The Cobra key management system is tamper-resistant and mechanical: each user inserts their own numbered blue access key to release a set of vehicle keys, and their access key is held until the vehicle keys are returned. That creates a chain of custody without software, servers, or a login.

Four sizes, each scaled to concurrent users as well as keys: 30-key for up to 5 users, 50-key for up to 10, 100-key for up to 20, and 160-key for up to 35. Offsetting rows keep every tag readable at a glance. Replacement parts are stocked: blue access keys for new staff, key holders, locks, and the master key that lets a manager override and reorganise the cabinet.

Cabinets hold keys; tags identify them. See service key tags for the service drive and car sales and car lot key tags for inventory, including Versa-Tag self-protecting key tags, which the Cobra system is designed to hold. Browse all auto dealer service supplies.

FAQ

Cabinet or key management system?

It depends which problem you have. A cabinet organises keys so staff can find them, and costs from under fifty dollars. A Cobra system records who released each key and holds their access key until it is returned, which is what you need when keys go missing and nobody knows who had them.

Which cabinet size should I order?

Count your keys and add headroom for busy weeks. 20-key suits a small shop, 48-key a typical service department, and 105-key a primary wall location. If your keys are large fobs and remotes, the heavy duty cabinet uses 1in hooks built for them, where economy cabinets can crowd.

Can I expand a cabinet later?

The heavy duty cabinet can. The additional key panel adds 96 positions, taking it from 96 to 192 keys, which is cheaper and takes less wall space than a second cabinet. Economy cabinets are fixed capacity, so buy a size above your current count if you expect to grow.

How does the Cobra system work?

Each staff member has a numbered blue access key. Inserting it into a slot releases the vehicle keys and locks their access key in place until the vehicle keys are returned. Nobody can hold two sets without giving up their own key, so the cabinet itself shows who has what. A master key lets a manager override for reorganising.

Which Cobra size do I need?

Size by concurrent users as well as key count. 30-key supports up to 5 users, 50-key up to 10, 100-key up to 20, and 160-key up to 35. A department with more staff than access keys ends up sharing them, which defeats the accountability the system exists to provide.

Key board or rollable case?

Both move keys around. Masonite boards are rigid with reinforced trim, easier to read and hang, and available up to 105 hooks. Rollable vinyl cases roll up small, which matters if storage space is tight or the case travels in a vehicle. Boards suit fixed routines; cases suit tight spaces.
