Key Boxes

Western Connecticut State University utilizes the Traka™ Key Cabinet system. Key cabinets are deployed in each building and allow the university to inventory and manage high security keys such as master and sub-master level keys.

Keys are not to leave the buildings in which they are being utilized. Keys are meant to stay in the possession of the individual at all times, and are not meant to be left on carts, shelves, or other unattended areas.
