Controlled Keys are keys which open buildings, offices, and controlled security areas. Master Keys operate locks for more than one operating key. There may be several levels of master keys to minimize key assignments to authorized individuals. Non-Controlled Keys are those which typically unlock file cabinets, desks, and display cabinets. These are not controlled but may be obtained from Facilities Planning and Management on request.
Authorization is required for issuance of controlled keys.
The following schedule describes the necessary authorization for a given controlled key. Keys shall be issued in person only, by Facilities Planning and Management as authorized by a completed Key Request Form, and must be signed for by the person to whom keys are assigned. Individuals who duplicate keys or lend keys to others may be subject to disciplinary action. Facilities Planning and Management shall conduct periodic physical audits of keys assigned. Controlled keys must be obtained directly from the Facilities Planning and Management Central Stores office, as authorized by a completed Key Request Form.
