Cabinet locks are physical barriers and access controls which are an evolving product group as demands for concise targeted protection increase in healthcare, residential, commercial, education and financial markets.
In the past cabinets office furniture and lockers were controlled with disc or the more secure pin tumbler cam locks, interchangeable key plugs or keyless combination locks.
But as more valuable assets require more extensive security, more exotic devices are coming into more common use. Across the healthcare sector, HIPPA requirements require secure storage of patient records. Audit trails and other access controls are also essential for narcotic storage.
For some insight into where security management is trending, you can check out what the government is requiring even if you are not currently involved in government security.
As it has always happened before, expect that these technologies and practices will eventually migrate down to the rest of the non-government security market.
