System Keys - (to download the data sheet for keys, click here)
All KIRK^® brass keys are made of nickel-silver. Due to the proprietary key section used to make each key, only the Kirk Key Interlock Company can furnish these keys for your interlock system. Each key can be stamped with a key interchange for an additional cost. This key interchange can be an alpha-numeric combination up to 5 characters long. Examples of key interchanges are A1, B1, A2, B2, C1, etc.

Duplicate Keys -
Each brass interlock is supplied with a key in its lock. These keys are required during the installation of the interlock(s) on equipment. This then provides more keys than are necessary for operation of the interlock system. Once the interlocks have been installed, all extra keys should be removed from the system and destroyed or retained by a responsible person. If additional keys are required due to loss or damage, please:

1. Print Duplicate Key Release Form from website.

Record Keeping -
With our ultimate user record keeping dating back to 1945, you can rely on the Kirk Key Interlock Company to coordinate and number your keys in coordination with existing equipment currently in service.

Warning! - A key interlock system operates using interlocks and a limited number of keys in a predetermined sequence. The purpose of this sequential operation of a key interlock system is to safeguard emplyees and protect equipment. The use of duplicate or replacement keys could provide a means to circumvent the sequential operation of a key interlock system and thereby defeat the protections afforded by the key interlock system. Consequently, any duplicate or replacement key supplied by Kirk Key should be secured and controlled by a responsible person to prevent any misuse of a duplicate or replacement key.

We have no way of evaluating your need for duplicate or replacement key(s). Kirk Key Interlock Company is not liable for misuse of any duplicate, replacement or master keys which might result in any death or injury to any person or damage to any property, or loss of use thereof, irrespective of whether it is alleged that Kirk Key was negligent in supplying such duplicate or replacement key.
