You are the owner of a small financial company. Your company has many confidential records that are important to keep safe and out of the wrong hands. Due to this, you have many locked doors in your office. These doors require a special key to access them. One day you start getting calls from your clients. They say that their identities have been stolen. Your company has all of their social security numbers and copies of identification cards. You also have their credit card numbers from when they paid for your services.

You start to think how this could have happened. Could someone in your office be stealing this information? You try thinking of who could have done this. You trusted all of your employees, but what if this was your entire fault. You decide that you are going to question all of your workers. You feel horrible having to do this, but you need answers and you need them now. After questioning all of your workers you realize that none of them were the culprit. Then, you realize that you recently had to fire someone. You originally hired them because they had a great resume, but in the end they just seemed a little off and you did not want that type of personality in your office. You remember collecting all of his keys, but maybe he had copied one.

You realize that the man you fired must have copied some of the keys so he could gain access to the office once everyone else had gone home. What do you do now? There is someone out there who has copies of all of your keys and is using it to their benefit. Now your best bet is to call a local locksmith and have your locks replaced.

What you should have done is thought about key control. Key control is easy to understand and will keep your office safe from employees or ex-employees from copying keys and gaining access to things they are not supposed to. With key control, the keys and cylinders inside of the lock are all patented by the security company. In order to have copies of the key made you must gain permission from the locksmith dealer, distributor, or even the manufacturer. Since you must ask permission before you copy a control key there is a record of who has had the key duplicated, who authorized it, and when it was duplicated.

A professional Washington Locksmith would be happy to help you with any questions you may have about control keys. They are a great investment and will ensure that keys will only be copied when you want them to be. You will never have to worry again about past employees making multiple copies of your keys for their benefit.
