How do I manage a key control program for office lockers?

A locker key control program should include: a master log tracking which key was issued to which employee, when, and with a signature; a secure key cabinet or safe for storing spare keys and master keys; a policy requiring employees to report lost keys within 24 hours; a procedure for rekeying any locker where a key is lost (typically $15–$50 per lock); and annual key audits to reconcile issued keys with the log. For organizations with high turnover, the administrative burden of key control programs often justifies switching to electronic combination or RFID locks.
