Why Property Managers Choose HandyTrac for Secure Key Control

secure key controlHandyTrac Systems, a key control firm serving multifamily, military, and student housing, has long been the favorite of property managers and building owners.

As a testimony to that popularity, HandyTrac Systems is now servicing customers across the USA, and its presence in all fifty states is a testament to its valuable yet affordable key control system. In addition, HandyTrac’s patented key management system is unique in that it backs up all of its client’s data with an audit trail.

Founded by apartment industry veterans who saw the value in a system that organizes and keeps track of building unit or apartment keys, HandyTrac provides clients with an audit trail which can be used to determine frequency of repairs, pest control activities, move-in move-out dates for billing, and lockouts.

The most important facet of any key control system is its ability to prevent residence keys from getting into the wrong hands. The resulting judgments against multifamily management companies which did not have key control and audit facilities are extensive. As one law firm points out, too many New Yorkers have been killed or seriously injured in robberies, shootings, stabbings, and beatings that could have been avoided if the apartment building had adequate key control security. In addition, these premises liability lawsuits can cost millions.

Over the past 20 years, HandyTrac has managed keys for more than 3 million apartment homes coast to coast through a cloud-based tracking system that affords owners and managers the ability to instantly access key reporting via a single login through a computer or smartphone.

A member of the National Apartment Association, the National Multifamily Housing Council, the Chicagoland Apartment Association, and the Bay Area Apartment Association, HandyTrac has won praise from many companies:
