Key Cabinets & Key Safes

Keep Business Keys Organised and Secure

A key cabinet gives you a single, secure location to manage keys for your workplace. Instead of leaving keys in drawers, on desks or with different staff members, you have a dedicated storage system that keeps daily operations smooth and accountable.

Key cabinets are useful for offices, retail stores, real estate agencies, workshops, schools, healthcare facilities and commercial properties. Use them to store building keys, vehicle keys, access keys, spare keys and restricted-area keys safely. If you also need to secure cash, documents or other business valuables, a commercial safe or high-security safe might be a better fit alongside your key storage.

Key Cabinet Options for Different Security Needs

Key cabinets come in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different business needs. Compact wall-mounted units work well for small offices, while high-capacity cabinets are better for property managers, car dealerships or large sites with hundreds of keys to track.

Choose a lockable key cabinet if you've got a small team, or an electronic key cabinet if multiple staff need entry. Before buying, check the key capacity, cabinet size, lock type, internal numbering and mounting requirements. Our safe buying guide explains which features to consider for key storage.

Electronic Key Cabinets for Controlled Access

An electronic key cabinet is ideal if multiple people need access, but you still want control over who can take keys and when. Digital PIN entry means you don't have to worry about carrying physical master keys or losing them on site.

Many electronic key cabinets in Australia also have features like user management and audit trails. This allows you to assign individual access codes, track access, reduce unauthorised use and improve accountability across the business.

Choose the Right Key Cabinet for Your Property

Before buying a key cabinet, consider:

• The number of keys you need to store now, plus whether you'll need extra capacity later on
• How often people need to access the cabinet
• How many people require access
• Whether you need a traditional key lock or electronic access control
• Where the cabinet will be installed or mounted
• Cabinet specifications like overall dimensions, steel thickness and total weight
• Key features like adjustable hook rails, included numbered tags, or audit logging

Proper installation is crucial to ensure your keys are kept secure. See our full range of 0–100 key, 100–200 key and 200+ key storage sets if you need a specific capacity.

Can several employees share access to the same key cabinet?

Yes, several employees can share access to the same key cabinet, depending on the lock type. Mechanical cabinets rely on a shared key or combination code, while digital models allow each employee to have their own unique PIN for individual access tracking.

Can key cabinets be expanded when more keys are added?

Some can be expanded with extra modules or sub-cabinets, but many have a fixed capacity. If your key count is likely to grow, choose a key cabinet with more hooks than you need right now.

How should keys be labelled inside a cabinet?

Use a clear numbering or labelling system that helps authorised staff find the right key quickly. Avoid writing sensitive information on the key tag, such as a full address or restricted-area name, in case the key is lost or removed.

Are key cabinets suitable for storing access cards and fobs?

Yes, as long as there's enough depth and space between hooks. Check the cabinet layout before buying to make sure it suits the items you need to store.
