What To Do When An Employee Leaves Your Company With A Key?

Keeping up with a business facility is no small feat and it can be easy to overlook things like who has what key and when but it is just such an oversight that puts your facility at much greater risk. First, consider what type of locks are used throughout your business. Traditional locks with keys are at the greatest risk for being compromised. Keys stamped with ‘Do Not Duplicate’ are a good way to go but just because most retail establishments and even key making machines will not duplicate them doesn’t mean that they are foolproof. Anytime there is a question as to the location or security of a particular key, it is safer to simply replace or re-key the lock than take the chance. Likewise, if a disgruntled employee departs, you should immediately change the locks. There are occasions when it only makes sense to re-key the locks in your business no matter how large the facility is. It is easier and less expensive to re-key the locks than it is to endure the cost of theft and vandalism. If ever there is a break-in or theft, replace or re-key the locks immediately. Anytime a key is unaccounted for, whether a previous employee fails to return it or it simply gets lost, re-key the appropriate locks. And, if the need arises to terminate a key-holding employee, re-key the lock even if the key is returned.
