This standard operating procedure describes the key control policies and procedures for Fine Hospitality Group hotels. Master keys are issued to executive housekeeping staff and maintenance personnel by the manager on duty. Section master keys are issued daily to each room attendant and must be returned and stored in a locked cabinet at the end of each day. An audit is conducted each evening to ensure all keys are returned. Any lost or missing keys must be reported immediately and affected locks rekeyed. Emergency keys for each room are kept in a secure location accessible only to the general manager and chief engineer and are discarded after use.
