Small businesses hand out keys freely, then lose track of them. When someone leaves, especially on bad terms, you need a plan.
Do it the same day
The longer old keys work, the bigger the risk. Rekeying the doors that person could open is usually fast and keeps your hardware.
Stop it happening again
- A master key system means you only rekey one area, not the whole building.
- An access control system lets you delete a fob or code in seconds.
- A keypad lock on the back door means codes, not keys.
Keep a key log
Write down who has which key, and collect keys at exit interviews. Restricted keys that can't be copied at a hardware store make the log meaningful.
