DESCRIPTION  The CR7-KRD-2 Key Retainer Device (2 core model) is unique, versatile and very valuable.  Applications include Janitorial / Custodial, Irregular Users / Guests that require access.  It acts as a “mechanical sign-out sheet” for desk and cabinet keys, carpools, evidence and gun lockers, hospital narcotics carts and storage cabinets.  It is an excellent “tool” in your key control arsenal – it is a simple solution to complicated problems that is often ignored – it provides an easy way to establish accountability and eliminate human mistakes by physically controlling the desired locking sequence or procedure(s) and it drastically reduces the risk exposure to higher level keys (GM, M and Controls) by requiring them to remain on-site.  The actual keys are “buried” in the core for additional security.  The cores are spaced and oriented to allow for large bow keys and key rings with I.D. tags attached. 

OPERATION   One key (High Level / Special) is retained in a core (at ¼ turn) until another “release” key is inserted in the other core and rotated 90° (¼ turn).  Then the “retained” key can be removed for use while the “release” key is held (trapped) for visual accountability purposes.  This cycle is repeated in reverse when the normally “retained” key is returned and the “release” key is removed (retrieved) by the authorized user - a very simple, but highly effective “put-and-take” system.
