The High Cost of Rekeying: Why It's Time to Go Digital
Every time a brass key is lost, stolen, or an employee leaves, businesses face the costly and time-consuming process of rekeying locks.

Make the switch today and invest your resources where they matter most—growing your business and enhancing security.

Limited Access Control: Why Brass Keys Are Holding You Back

Imagine a system where access control is at your fingertips, allowing you to grant or revoke access instantly.

In today's fast-paced world, efficiency and security are paramount in managing facilities. Traditional key rings, master key systems, and the challenges they present can significantly hamper productivity and security. This white paper explores the inefficiencies of conventional key systems, the drawbacks of master key hierarchies, and introduces the innovative solution offered by ZeroKey using Proxess LoxIQ—a digital master key system that combines Grade 1 hardware durability with state-of-the-art access control technology.

The Problem with Traditional Key Systems
Facilities personnel often carry large key rings with multiple keys, each corresponding to different doors within the facility. This system is not only cumbersome but also time-consuming. Based on estimates:

• Average Key Ring: 8 keys or more
• Time to Find the Correct Key: 30 seconds per entry
• Average Daily Entries: 25 entries
• Daily Time Spent on Keys: 12.5 minutes
• Weekly Time Spent on Keys: 62.5 minutes
• Annual Time Spent on Keys: 3250 minutes (or approximately 54 hours)

​This lost productivity translates to significant operational inefficiencies and increased labor costs.

Master Key Systems: A Partial Solution
The traditional solution to the problem of large key rings is the implementation of a master key system. This system establishes a hierarchy of keys, with a single master key that can open all doors, and sub-master keys that open specific groups of doors. While this system can reduce the time spent searching for keys by 60% for the holder of the master key, it presents several challenges:

• Limited Improvement: Non-master key holders still face inefficiencies, resulting in up to 54 hours of lost productivity annually per employee.
• Costly Implementation: Setting up a master key system is expensive.
• Complex Management: Changes to access levels require professional rekeying services, which are both time-consuming and costly.
• Security Risks: Loss or theft of a master or sub-master key poses significant security threats, necessitating immediate and costly rekeying.

A Real-Life Scenario: The Cost of Traditional Keys
Recently, one of our construction sites experienced a break-in. The intruders broke the lock box and stole the brass key inside. To secure the building, we had to re-key three locks, which was neither cheap nor easy, especially since the entire building operates on a master key system. Fortunately, only one unit's key was taken. If the master key had been stolen, we would have faced the costly and time-consuming task of re-keying the entire building and redistributing keys, potentially costing thousands of dollars.
