“Runaway locksmith expenses are a reality for many chain stores. The combination of high employee turnover and lost keys can make key management not only expensive, but also time-consuming. The scenario is a bit different, however, for Dollar General. The discount retailer utilizes an integrated key-tracking system that combines specially designed hardware with real-time record management via the Internet.”
“The program, InstaKey from InstaKey Lock Corp., Denver, gives Dollar General the capability to re-key a lock whenever needed, without the cost and delay of technical support or the need to remove a core from the door.”
“Dollar General implemented InstaKey approximately two years ago in hopes of reducing locksmith expenses. Snider says the annual savings have been significant.”
