Shop key cabinets and key control cabinets built for car dealerships and repair shops. Keep every vehicle key safe, locked, and easy to find.
What Is a Key Cabinet?
A key cabinet is a locking box or board that holds and organizes many keys in one place. Each key gets its own hook or slot. This keeps keys safe from theft and easy to find when you need them.
Types of Key Cabinets
Steel Key Control Cabinets
These are strong, locking boxes made of steel. They hold many keys, from 20 up to 192. Each key comes with a fob, ring, and number sticker so you always know which key is which.
Wall-Mounted Key Boards
These key boards hang on a wall. They have hooks that lock keys in place so they don't fall off. Good for offices, garages, and dealership back rooms.
Portable Key Cases
These are soft, rollable cases you can carry or hang. They hold up to 50 keys and work well when you need to move keys from place to place.
How to Choose the Right Key Cabinet
Pick a cabinet based on how many keys you need to store - from 20 keys for a small lot up to 192 keys for a large dealership.
Steel cabinets are strong and hard to break into. They're the best choice for dealerships and businesses that need real security.
Choose a locking steel cabinet for full security, a wall-mounted board for quick access, or a rollable case if you need to carry keys with you.
Some cabinets can grow with your needs. For example, our 96-key cabinet can expand to 192 keys with an extra panel.
Key Cabinets for Different Dealership Spaces
Small lots and offices - a 20-key or 48-key steel cabinet is enough to stay organized without taking up much room.
Mid-size dealerships - a 96-key or 105-key cabinet gives you room to grow as inventory increases.
Large dealerships and fleet lots - a 192-key expandable cabinet keeps hundreds of keys locked, sorted, and easy to find.
Service departments - a wall-mounted key board with spring lock hooks keeps technician keys handy and secure near the service bay.
