Other aspects of
the LOCKSHOP module are listed and linked
in the column to the left.
The RECALL mode allows locksmiths to RECALL all of the keys
associated with a KeyID number. Hooks may be cleared, even if all of the
keys have not been returned. KeyNET keeps a history of all keys
associated with the KeyID. Should all of the keys be returned for a
particular KeyID, it could them be assigned the same, or different hook
number, and the keys are available for issue.
KeyNET will retain the list of the Key Inventory even though all of the keys
are not returned.
Because a recalled KeyID is no longer associated with a hook, Key Issue and
the Lockshop modules have no place to collect recalled keys when they are
returned. Therefore, when an individual returns a key that has been marked
as recalled, it must be destroyed; or assigned a hook, prior to returning the
key to inventory.
Spectrum Group
does not recommend recalling a KeyID, and disassociating the KeyID from a hook
number unless it is anticipated that the KeyID will NEVER be used again.
However, in some legacy systems which were not managed well, reusing a RECALLED
KeyID is necessary. When this situation occurs, we recommend the
following:
-
Check to see if the KeyID is still associated with a hook number.
To do this, start by clicking on the Key Search link in the
Lockshop Group. In the FIND KEYS group, enter the
KeyID you want to know about and click on the SEARCH
button. KeyNET will offer you the KeyID if it is
found, click on the KeyID. If the KeyID
has a hook associated with it, the hook number, issue point and number of
keys available for issue will be displayed in the left hand column.
-
Check to see if any old keys are still issued out. Perform the
same tasks as in item 1. Click on the Display Inventory link in
the left-hand column under Options. KeyNET will display the status of
the keys that have been created for this KeyID in the workspace.
It is also possible to check a list of keys which have been tagged as
recalled. To do this, start by clicking on the Key Search
link in the Lockshop Group. In the FIND KEYS group change
the RECALL MODE to RECALL and click on the
SEARCH button. KeyNET will provide you with a complete list of all
keys you have tagged as recalled.
