Tracker Boards: The Ultimate Key Management Tool
When you need to know exactly who has taken a key and when, a Tracker Board is your go-to solution. Often referred to as peg-in/peg-out systems, these boards are designed primarily as a highly effective management tool for key usage rather than physical security.From dealerships and garages to estate agents and fleet operators, our systems are built to protect, organise and control key access with confidence.
Instant Visual Tracking
Instantly see who has which key with a simple glance.
Staff Accountability
Eliminates the guesswork and time wasted searching for missing keys.
Fast-Paced Efficiency
Ideal for busy environments like dealerships and property management offices where keys change hands constantly.
Hook Bar Cabinets: Superior Physical Security
While tracker boards focus on accountability, a hook bar cabinet acts as a safe. These systems offer significantly higher security, structural protection, and organisational flexibility for large, varied, or high-value key sets compared to open peg boards.
Robust Construction
Built from heavy-duty steel with secure locking mechanisms and tamper resistance.
Greater Capacity & Flexibility
Store up to 600+ keys with adjustable hook rails and deep designs to accommodate large bunches.
Advanced Organisation
Colour-coded management and removable index systems ensure thieves won't know which keys correspond to which door.

Key management systems frequently asked questions
What is a key management system?
A key management system is a structured solution that helps organisations control, track and secure their physical keys. Unlike the old-fashioned approach of hanging keys on a hook or storing them in a drawer, a proper key management system provides a secure infrastructure for housing keys, a reliable method for tracking their movements, and clear protocols for who can access them.
Think of it as the difference between keeping your savings under the mattress versus in a bank. It’s about adding layers of security, accountability and efficiency to something valuable.
How does a key tracking system work?
Key tracking systems use unique identifiers attached to each key or key set to monitor their whereabouts and usage. These identifiers might be RFID tags, electronic fobs, or mechanical pegs depending on the system type.
When someone needs a key, they first authenticate themselves, perhaps using a PIN code, access card or fingerprint scan. Once verified, the system records who is taking the key, when it was taken, and often the purpose. When the key is returned, this is also logged, creating a complete record of the key’s movements.
Modern electronic systems take this further with real-time monitoring and automated alerts. If a key isn’t returned on time, the system can send notifications to supervisors. Many systems also restrict which keys each user can access based on their role or department.
What is a key tracking system?
While often used interchangeably, key tracking and key management represent different levels of sophistication in controlling access to your keys.
Key tracking is primarily focused on monitoring the location and movement of keys, essentially answering “where is this key?” and “who has it?” It’s like a basic library checkout system for your keys, creating a record of key movements but with limited security features.
Key management, however, is more comprehensive. Beyond simply tracking locations, it encompasses the entire process of controlling keys throughout their lifecycle. This includes defining who can access which keys, enforcing usage policies, analysing patterns and integrating with broader security frameworks.
What is the difference between a Hook Bar Key Cabinet and a Tracker Board?
It is not necessarily a choice of either/or! Both systems serve different primary functions, and they can actually be used in tandem to offer total SMART secure storage.
Here is the breakdown:
Tracker Boards (Peg-in/Peg-out Systems) These act as a highly effective management tool. They are designed to track exactly who has taken a key and when. Because they are open-faced, they offer instant visual tracking and staff accountability, making them ideal for fast-paced environments where keys change hands constantly.
Hook Bar Key Cabinets These act as a secure safe. They prioritize the physical security of the keys within a robust structure. They offer:
Superior Physical Security: Built from heavy-duty steel (1mm-2.5mm) with secure cylinder or digital locks to protect against opportunistic theft. Many include self-closing doors.
Greater Storage Flexibility: Adjustable hook rails and deeper designs easily accommodate large, bulky bunches of keys that standard peg boards cannot hold.
Higher Capacity: Capable of storing up to 600 or more keys in one secure location.
Advanced Organisation: Features like colour-coded hook bars and removable index cards mean if a thief steals the cabinet, they won’t know which keys correspond to which door.
The Ultimate Solution: For maximum security, KeyTracker allows for a hook panel to be installed inside a secure hook bar cabinet. This gives you the rapid tracking benefits of a board combined with the robust physical protection of a heavy-duty safe.
