KRD SERIES KEY RETAINING DEVICES
Key Retainer Device Operation and Benefits
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.
How It Functions...A simple put-and-take method of operation
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.
Case: Precision machined from solid aircraft aluminum bar stock
Size: 2 1/4" High x 4 1/2" Long x 2 1/4" Deep.
Weight: 2 pounds
Finish: Clear anodized – 628 *
Options: – S: Internal low-voltage SPDT switch – SS: Security Seal * Other colors are available
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).
These two KRD-2H Hybrids have the BEST core as the retained position, but the user can decide which core position is to be the release and which is to be the retained.
Specifications for KRD-2H Hybrids are the same as the KRD-2 shown above.
KRD-2 Non-BEST Full Size Core Models (Cores and Keys not included)
Identical in operation to the KRD-2 for BEST cores, but these devices will accept other manufacturers' IC's and RC's. Some manufacturers of both 6 and 7-pin cores require a different version for each. A complete listing appears in HOW TO ORDER below. Specifications for these models are the same as the KRD-2 shown on the previous page.
KRD-3 BEST Core Dual Function Model (Cores and Keys not included)
This three core model accepts BEST 5, 6 and 7-pin cores and provides the user with a choice of two different functions:
Function “A” – Dual Custody - 2 release keys presented to release 1 retained key: Two release keys must be simultaneously inserted into the retaining device and rotated 90 degrees. The rotation of these two keys traps them and releases the retained key. The release keys remain trapped until the retained key is returned and rotated. When this happens, the release keys can be extracted, but the retained key is trapped.
Function “B” – 1 release key presented to release 2 retained keys: A release key is inserted into the retaining device and rotated 90 degrees. The rotation of this key releases the retained keys, which should both be simultaneously removed, and traps the release key. The release key remains trapped until both of the retained keys are returned and rotated. When this happens, the release key can be extracted, but the retained keys are trapped.
Case: Precision machined from solid aircraft aluminum bar stock
Size: 2 1/4" High x 6 3/4" Long x 2 1/4" Deep.
Weight: 3 pounds
Finish: Clear anodized – 628 *
Options: – S: Internal low-voltage SPDT switch – SS: Security Seal(s) Specify quantity and post location(s) * Other colors are available
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.
-SS Security Seal(s) (Seals not included)
Allows you to use a breakable seal on a retained key to provide a simple and effective visual indicator that this key has NOT been used.
