A register an auditor can read
Every key issued, the doors it operates, the holder and the dates. Issued to you rather than held by us, and updated on every visit that changes a key.

Locks and access control for Miami branches
A branch has to be able to answer who holds a key to what, and most properties of any kind cannot.
Branch security lives in the record as much as the hardware. Who holds a key, which doors it opens, when it was issued and when it came back are questions that get asked, and answering them requires a register that was maintained rather than reconstructed.
The keyway matters just as much. On a standard keyway a returned key proves nothing, because copies can be cut at any counter, so the control is only as real as the restriction behind it.
What we get called for
- Restricted keyway systems where duplication needs your authorisation
- Written key registers, issued to you and kept current
- Access hardware on staff, back office and secure areas
- Rekeying after staff changes, with the register updated
- Vestibule and ATM lobby door hardware and locking
- Key cabinet locking and control
- Panic hardware and exit devices on required exits
Performed in-house
Who carries out this work.
Performed by TrionX employees. No Florida contractor licence is required for this trade, and TrionX carries general liability and workers compensation covering the work.
Why TrionX
How we approach it.
Restricted keyways make collection meaningful
Blanks supplied only to the registered holder mean a returned key genuinely counts, so a departure does not automatically become a rekey.
Closed hours as the default
Almost nothing in a branch should be happening at a public counter. Work is planned for closed hours as standard rather than as a special request, and priced that way from the start.
Common questions
Questions we get asked
Can you provide a key register we can audit?
Yes, and it is standard on any lock or master key work we do. It records every key issued, the doors or group it operates, the holder and the dates it went out and came back. It is issued to you rather than held by us.
What is a restricted keyway and does a branch need one?
A keyway whose blanks are supplied only to the registered holder, so keys cannot be duplicated at a hardware counter. For a branch, where key control is the entire point, it is the difference between a rekey that means something and one that lasts until somebody visits a key cutter.
Do you work on vaults, safes or alarm systems?
No. Vaults, safes and monitored alarm systems belong to specialists in those products and we do not represent otherwise. We handle the building around them: door hardware, access control hardware, locks, registers and the finishes in staff and public areas.
Can all work happen outside banking hours?
Yes, and that is the default assumption for a branch rather than a special request. Work is planned for closed hours, priced that way from the start and sequenced so the branch opens normally. Emergencies are dispatched whenever they happen.
