Lockable rings secure your keys on either a flexible or solid ring.
The ring is locked by a standard type cam lock in an aluminum housing.
The main reason that you use this type of device is Key Control.
I have discussed this in past articles; without some type of key control you do not have a secure lock.
This is the most important part of a locking system; however, it is the most overlooked.
Keys are put on the lockable ring and it is locked preventing removal of the keys unless the lock is opened.
To remove the keys, the lock needs to be opened by authorized personnel with the proper key.
All the keys are held together and cannot be taken off the key ring.
This provides key control as someone can't "lose" one key.
If the cable is cut that would indicate possible compromise of any locks that those keys open.
The rings come in either flexible stainless steel cable available in 4 different sizes: 6,8,12 and 18 inch or solid stainless cable in 5 different sizes: 1.
5,2.
5,3,4 and 5 inch.
The lock body is made of aluminum that is covered with a protective polyurethane boot available in 15 different colors.
There is also of choice of locks.
Features of Lockable Rings:
The choice of the lock will be dependent on what the keys are securing and the value.
The locks available are from medium security to high security.
They can be keyed alike, keyed different or master keyed.
