Hotel Security & Access

A key is easier to hand over when its storage point is obvious to the people responsible for it. Hotel Security & Access at Direct Hotel Supplies centres on two key-management arrangements: a cabinet that holds multiple keys together at a staffed point, and smaller combination boxes that keep a spare key at a chosen location. Hotels, motels and serviced apartments can select the format that fits their room-key and service-key routines, giving staff a consistent place to find and return keys.

Keep several keys together at reception

The aluminium wall cabinet has numbered hanging positions behind a keyed door. It suits a fixed reception or management area where staff work with a group of room or service keys and need to see their separate positions. Numbered locations can support an orderly handover and return routine, keeping keys off an open counter and in one familiar staff-controlled place.

Position a spare key at an access point

Compact four-digit combination boxes hold a key in an enclosed compartment. A wall or door-mounted style gives a more permanent position; a hanging shackle or flexible cable can be placed around a suitable fixed attachment point. The choice depends on how the key is handed over and where the box can be reached. Using the same agreed position for every exchange can make access arrangements clearer for the staff or authorised guest involved.
