What is a KRD?

KRD-2 (SFIC)

(click on image for Specifications)

ICLS offers the world's largest selection of various types of key retainer devices (KRDs), less cores. Some, such as BEST, Schlage, Sargent, Corbin Russwin, Medeco and Yale are pictured below. Even though ICLS has continued to provide these KRDs at below market prices, it is only because we can manufacture them completely within the USA with our own quality control measures and specialized marketing procedures. Currently we offer 18 different types of KRDs.

KRDs are provided with installation instructions, fastening bolts and mounting template. KRDs do not come with the cores (figure-eight locking devices) that are inserted by the facilities locksmith in only seconds with the appropriate control key. Interchangeable cores in KRDs usually match the facility's existing keying system.

Key Retainer Devices (KRDs) are in the industry forefront as a proven way to prevent crime by providing visual authorized accountability. This means that as a Top Master Key is issued for legitimate purposes, the employee's  key is temporarily "retained" in the KRD. When they return and replace the Master Key, the employee's key is released and the Master Key is again locked into place. This procedure accentuates safety since accountability is required and Master Keys stay "on premises." Thus, potential crime and security vulnerability is lessened. KRDs are precision machined from solid aircraft aluminum bar stock, contain stainless steel throw pins for added strength and security, contain no mounting brackets (proven to be a security risk) as they are only mounted direct-to-surface and are manufactured 100% in the USA.

How Does a KRD Work?

	HOW IT WORKS ... A simple put-and-take method of operation
	Top master or any high level key securely retained in KRD waiting for authorized user	Authorized user inserting their personally identified release key	User rotates their release key and now the high level retained key is in the upright position and ready for removal		Authorized user removing the previously secured high level key and can use it as needed		Authorized user key is retained (held captive/trapped) until the high level key is returned to its secure location

NOTE: If using Arrow CHOicE Plus, Sargent XC or Scorpion CX-5 small format cores, one throw pin must be modified/partially sheared (for each core) going into the KRD.

So What is a Sequence Lock?

Why Should I Use a KRD?

Many system administrators, institutional locksmiths and security professionals are unaware WHY the Key Retainer Device (KRD) has proven to be the number one most cost-effective device to support visual key control. Since the unfortunate revelations of 9-11, internal security and key control have become of paramount concern to those in positions of security authority. Do you know why this simple, yet important device is a vital arsenal in the 'key control' world? Below are the Top 12 Reasons why:

12 Top Reasons to Use Key Retainer Devices (KRDs)

Provided by ICLS:

1) Cost-effective method to keep master keys on premises

2) Reduces expensive building re-keys

3) Eliminates unauthorized master key duplication

4) Reduces theft from 'rogue' master keys

5) Effectively used by colleges, universities, public schools, hospitals and government facilities to support necessary key control policies

6) Eliminates key loss off premises

7) Allows visual key control of WHO has master keys out at any given time

What Should I Be Aware Of?

Two Cautions When Buying KRDs! 1) Make sure you are not purchasing older stock (not ever made or sold by us), that contains brass throw pins!!! One university found that with extra torque on the captive key, the brass throw pins broke off and the master key was free to be removed! This is the worst scenario for a KRD! We use ONLY stainless steel throw pins to assure your master key stays in place until the proper release key is used. That is what we use.   2) If the KRD-2 is mounted with a bracket in the back.....avoid it! Again, it has been proven that with minimal pressure, it can be broken off and the perpetrator now has your entire KRD-2, with keys! As a reminder, this is not something we ever made and is older stock (not ever made or sold by us), as all of our KRDs are mounted ONLY direct-to-surface.   ICLS is proud to sell only quality KRDs, as proven by our track record with the hundreds of colleges, universities, hospitals and government facilities using our products successfully for over a decade.   Here is our partial Customer List, illustrating the widespread use and industry support inherent in our secure KRDs.
