Eliminate the #2 Key with CyberLock

The #2 key, widely used in the traffic industry to access traffic control cabinets and roadside infrastructure, poses a significant security risk. Its universal nature means anyone with a copy of this key can potentially access critical systems, leading to tampering, theft, or unauthorized use. Copies of the #2 key can even be bought online for a few dollars. The result is familiar to every agency: other municipalities and utilities opening cabinets and mounting their own equipment inside, copper wire stripped out of cabinets, and no record of who was there when something goes wrong. CyberLock eliminates the vulnerabilities associated with the #2 key by providing programmable, unique CyberKeys and electronic locks that ensure only authorized personnel can gain access.

With CyberLock, you can:

• Replace universal #2 keys with individualized, programmable CyberKeys.
• Control who has access to what and when, with keys that can be set to expire automatically.
• Secure all access points without the need for extensive wiring or rekeying.
• Give contractors temporary keys that expire automatically when the job ends — no chasing keys back.
• Use time-stamped entry records to verify work and support overtime documentation.

• Enhanced Security: CyberLock replaces the one-size-fits-all #2 key with unique, programmable CyberKeys, ensuring only authorized personnel can access sensitive equipment and infrastructure.
