Why this matters
A large number of remote sites creates an operational problem as much as a locking problem. Travel distance, contractor turnover and inconsistent site records can make a technically sound lock difficult to manage.
What to confirm
Identify each site and lock point, cabinet or door construction, environmental exposure, existing cut-outs and the users who require routine, temporary or emergency access.
A practical working method
Contractor permissions should have a defined scope and duration. Lost keys, failed openings and emergency access need a documented escalation path; the process should not depend on one individual remembering who holds each key.
Records, acceptance and handover
Maintain a site register that links each location to its hardware, permissions, issue history and replacement parts. Future additions should follow the same naming and configuration rules.
