Still Using Keys? Here’s Why That’s Risky for Your Business

Keys feel simple. Familiar. Safe.

But for most businesses, they create more problems than they solve.

If you're still handing out physical keys to employees, cleaners, or delivery drivers, you're using a security system that doesn’t match the way you actually run your business.

And it’s likely costing you time, money, and peace of mind.

Why Traditional Keys Are a Security Risk

Here’s what happens with physical key systems:

  • You can’t tell who used them or when.

  • You don’t know if someone made a copy.

  • You can’t take them back without tracking the person down.

And over time? Keys pile up. People come and go. And you lose track of who has access to your building.

This article explains how key-based systems become a security risk over time.

Real Business Owners Are Moving On

  • A gym owner was done with shared codes and constant lockouts. Switching to smartphone-based access fixed that.

  • Retail managers were spending hundreds every time someone quit.

  • Another business realized a former employee still had access months after leaving.

These problems aren’t unusual. They’re common in churches, salons, coworking spaces, gyms, and offices.

A Simple Way to Control Who Gets In

You don’t need fancy tech or a complicated setup.

You just need to:

  • Grant access without handing out keys

  • Know who unlocked the door and when

  • Remove access instantly when needed

Thousands of small businesses are already doing this:

Ask Yourself:

  • Do you know exactly who has access to your building right now?

  • Can you remove someone’s access in less than a minute?

  • Are you still paying to rekey doors every few months?

If you’re not sure, you’re not in control.
