Chit-Key Vaults & Panels

Our Chit-Key products use a very simple but clever technique for storing and ensuring the safe return of your keys. Locks are paired up to operate in tandem. You turn a key in one lock to remove a second key from another lock.
We offer two standard chit-key vaults, but can customize their basic design to accommodate as many key positions as you need. Both vaults are made of 18-gauge brushed stainless steel and use ¾ inch cam locks.

Multi-Chit Panel

Fleet managers responsible for school buses, moving vans, semis, police cars, taxi cabs, and delivery trucks are installing our multi-chit key panels. These heavy duty panels, made of 16-gauge powder-coated metal, come in 20- and 50-key sets. The ¾ inch cam locks, arranged in rows, are paired one above the other to work in tandem. Locking a key in one lock releases the second key from its corresponding lock. That first key cannot be removed until the second key is returned and locked in place.

20-key Panel: Height: 10.75" Width: 21" Depth: 1.25" Weight: 12 pounds without keys.

50-key Panel: Height: 26" Width: 21" Depth: 1.25" Weight: 30 pounds without keys
