Is KeyNest secure?

Yes - our KeyNest Points are secure by design. Always stored anonymously, keys in our regular stores will only be handled by trained staff, and most locations have the security cameras installed too. You’ll also always be able to track the movements of your keys with our automatic notifications. Head over to our security section to find out more.

KeyNest Points service decreases the number of trips staff has to take to deliver the keys or meet the contractor in the property. Every single commute that didn’t happen thanks to KeyNest can be translated into a carbon footprint saving. We can assist in calculating this impact based on your organisation’s past operational data, just let us know during an intro call!
