KRD Series Key Retaining Device

The key retaining device is an effective tool for improving key control. With a key retaining device, a release key is inserted into the retaining device and rotated. The rotation of this key both releases the retained key and traps the release key. The release key remains trapped until the retained key is returned and rotated.

When this happens, the release key can be extracted, but the retained key is trapped. These retaining devices establish accountability for important keys (ex: master keys, emergency bypass keys, etc.) and dramatically reduce both human mistakes and risk exposure for higher level keys. These effective put-and-take systems act as mechanical sign-out sheets. When the cores are installed, the standard #10 front mounting screws are concealed. Additional 1/4-20 threaded mounting holes are provided in the back of each KRD case.

KRD-2 BEST Core Model (Cores and Keys not included) Two core retaining device with one retained core and key and one release core and key. Accepts 5, 6 and 7 pin BEST cores.
KRD-2H Hybrid (Cores and Keys not included) The Hybrid KRD is used to combine, in one device, a BEST core with another manufacturer’s core. Two models are currently available: Sargent RC and Schlage FSIC (contact your local BEST office for information on other models).

KRD Options:

S Switch: Internal low-voltage SPDT switch rated at 5A, 125VAC supplied with a 3-wire, 36″ jacketed cable. This switch can be used to connect any KRD to an annunciator, control circuitry, a camera, an access control system with alarm monitoring capability, a linked output, etc.
