Business Turnover Lock Plan
How Cape Coral businesses should handle locks when key employees leave.
Immediate steps
When a key-carrying employee leaves, rekey affected doors quickly. Don't wait 'to see if they return the keys.'
Most quiet losses trace to unretrieved keys.
Master key systems
If you have a master key system, rekey only the affected sub-master or change key level, not every door.
That's the point of the tree design.
Access control advantages
Access control avoids the whole problem: deactivate the credential and you're done.
For businesses with frequent turnover, this ROI adds up fast.
Documentation
Document every key issued and returned. A simple log is fine.
During audits or insurance reviews, this saves headaches.
Ongoing policy
Set the policy once and follow it every time. 'Every departure triggers a rekey or credential revoke' is a clean rule.
