Case Study: Auburn University improves safety and security with Morse Watchmans KeyWatcher

Auburn University - Customer Case Study

Auburn University, a state university with over 22,000 students and 7,000 staff, faced a significant security challenge managing physical access across its 230-building campus. With many older buildings reliant on traditional keys, the university needed a secure method to control key access to sensitive areas like dorms and laboratories while providing access to authorized personnel. They partnered with vendor Morse Watchmans to overcome these key management issues.

Morse Watchmans implemented its KeyWatcher key management system, which uses intelligent, wall-mounted cabinets to securely store and track keys. This solution eliminated manual logs and ensured keys were only released to authorized users. The results for Auburn University included a major reduction in lost keys and minimized key exposure, greatly enhancing security by preventing unauthorized access. The Morse Watchmans system also provides detailed tracking and automatic alerts if keys are not returned on time.
