Steel key cabinet with 48 hooks, designed for site offices, depots, and facilities teams handling multiple sets of keys across a project or building. The powder coated steel construction and lockable door keep keys secured and organised in one fixed location, reducing lost keys and unauthorised access. Supplied with 2 access keys, a sheet of numbered labels, and screw fixings for wall mounting.
How numbered hooks keep large key sets under control
Loose keys stored in drawers or on a single ring quickly become impossible to track once a site or building holds more than a handful of doors, gates, and equipment stores. Time is lost searching for the right key, keys go missing between shifts, and there is no way to confirm who last had access to a specific area. Numbered hooks paired with the supplied label sheet let each key be assigned a fixed position, so any authorised user can find and return the correct key in seconds.
Key Features
-
Supplied with numbered labels and wall fixings: Ready to mount and organise straight out of the box, without needing to source separate labelling or fixings.
-
48 hook capacity: Holds up to 48 individual keys or small bunches, suited to site offices, depots, and multi-door facilities.
-
Powder coated steel construction: Resists chipping and everyday knocks in a busy site office or store environment.
-
Lockable door with 2 keys supplied: Restricts access to authorised personnel and keeps the full key set secured when not in use.
-
Wall mounting design: Fixes to a wall or partition, keeping the cabinet in a single controlled location rather than a portable box that can be misplaced.
-
Compatible with standard key tags: Accepts tags for further identification, sold separately for buyers who want additional labelling beyond the supplied numbered sheet.

Who is this for
This cabinet suits site offices, depots, and facilities teams managing multiple sets of keys across a single building, compound, or small site, where all keys need to be centrally stored, numbered, and accounted for. It is intended for indoor use by site managers, depot supervisors, and administrative staff responsible for controlling access to gates, stores, plant, and internal doors.
Typical applications
-
Storing and organising keys for site offices, compounds, and secure stores.
-
Managing multiple sets of plant, vehicle, or equipment keys in a single depot location.
-
Centralising building keys for facilities teams responsible for multiple internal doors and access points.
-
Controlling access to gates, containers, and welfare units on active construction sites.
-
Providing a fixed, numbered reference point for keys handed between shifts or contractors.
-
Supporting basic key audit practices where a manager needs to confirm which keys are in the cabinet at any time.
How to use
Step 1: Mount the cabinet to a wall or partition using the supplied screw fixings, in a location accessible only to authorised personnel.
Step 2: Fit the numbered label sheet to the hook board so each hook position is clearly identified.
Step 3: Assign each key or bunch to a numbered hook and record the assignment in a separate key register if required.
Step 4: Lock the cabinet door using one of the 2 supplied keys and keep the spare key in a separate secure location.
Step 5: Check hook numbering and label condition periodically, replacing labels if they become illegible.
Common mistakes
-
Mounting the cabinet somewhere visible or accessible to unauthorised staff or visitors, defeating the purpose of the lock.
-
Assigning keys to hooks without recording the numbering system, making the cabinet unusable if the person who set it up is unavailable.
-
Storing both cabinet keys in the same location, removing the benefit of having a spare.
-
Overloading hooks with bunches too large for the hook spacing, making keys difficult to identify and remove quickly.
-
Leaving the cabinet unlocked during the working day when it is not actively in use.
Safety
The cabinet is designed for indoor use and controlled access to standard site and office keys. It is not rated as a certified security key safe for high value or insurance rated key storage. Where insurance or contractual requirements demand a rated key safe, a dedicated security rated product should be specified instead.
Maintenance
Wipe the powder coated exterior with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Check the lock mechanism periodically for smooth operation and keep both supplied keys accounted for. Replace numbered labels if they fade or become detached, and confirm wall fixings remain secure over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many keys can this cabinet actually hold?
A: The cabinet holds up to 48 individual keys or small bunches, one per numbered hook. Larger bunches take up more than one hook position, so actual capacity depends on how many keys are grouped together. For most site offices and depots managing individual door, gate, and cabinet keys, 48 hooks covers a single building or compound comfortably.
Q: Is this cabinet rated as a certified security key safe?
A: No. This is a lockable steel storage cabinet for organising and securing everyday site and office keys, not a certified insurance rated key safe. It does not carry a security rating such as those required for high value key storage under some insurance policies. Where a contract or insurer specifies a rated key safe, a dedicated security rated product should be used instead.
Q: What is this cabinet NOT suitable for?
A: This cabinet is not designed for outdoor or weather exposed locations, and it is not a substitute for an insurance rated key safe where one is contractually required. It is not intended for storing high value assets beyond keys, and the numbered label sheet is not a tamper evident audit system on its own.
Q: Why choose this over a basic unlabelled key box?
A: Many competing key cabinets are supplied without labelling or wall fixings, leaving buyers to source these separately before the cabinet can be used. This cabinet includes a full sheet of numbered labels and the screw fixings needed for wall mounting, so it can be installed and put into use without an additional order.
Q: Do I need to buy key tags separately?
A: Yes. The cabinet is supplied with numbered labels for the hook board itself, but individual key tags for identifying each key are sold separately. Plastic key tags are available from CMT Group in packs to suit the full 48 hook capacity.
Q: How long does the powder coated finish last with regular use?
A: The powder coated steel exterior is built to withstand routine handling in a site office or depot environment without chipping under normal use. Wiping the cabinet down periodically and avoiding contact with abrasive cleaning products will keep the finish in good condition over its working life.
Q: How quickly can I get this key cabinet delivered to a depot or site office?
A: Order by 7pm for next-day delivery nationwide on stocked lines. CMT Group operates its own fleet covering over 95% of the UK mainland, with live tracking and What3Words integration for delivery to a specific site entrance or compound gate. For ongoing multi-site orders, the EDGE portal gives procurement teams stock visibility and delivery tracking across every order.
