GE AccessPoint 001796 TouchPoint Key Cabinet Pro, 60 Key Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best key cabinet I've had yet. I've had three at other facilities, and they all had the same weakness: a cheap lock that could be picked in less than 15 seconds with no visible sign of tampering. I know, because I had to open one when the key was lost. There were keys to the entire facility, as well as old keys to previous executives' cars and homes. Protected with the same or less security than a desk or file cabinet lock.
This 10-key push combination lock doesn't take a key...so it can't be picked. It can be defeated by brute force (obvious) or by meticulously trying every possible combination. (Also obvious if someone is standing behind your office door for a few hours.)
Easy to use, and combo can be changed in under a minute.
Knob cannot be defeated with a hammer...if too much torque applied, it is designed to spin freely.
My only reason for not giving it the fifth star: the labels are not durable enough for daily use. If you have "loaner" keys that are checked out regularly for all-day use, the labels will get dirty and eventually peel off. Not a huge deal, because they look like standard label tape can replace it. But enough of an annoyance to lose a star.
Be careful when mounting. It is a little heavy, and large enough to notice if you didn't hang it level. A second set of eyes and/or a level and ruler are recommended.
Also, as with any low-security device, do not mount this in an unattended area. I found one box hidden away in an electrical clost. A hammer and pry bar (or a couple of good kicks) will break any box loose from a wall and allow a perp to take it somewhere else to break into. Key cabinets should be "seen" every day as part of a routine, like locking doors at night.
I was so impressed, I bought another smaller cabinet, as well as a keybox. The GE Supra lock is also available as a bare cabinet lock that can be installed/retrofitted to your existing cabinets. That is next on the shopping list.
