acvending Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 How do you guys manage all the keys to your machines. Do you put them on a large ring and label each key somehow with a machine number? Do you have one or two master keys that fit all your machines. Give me the scoop?

When I get to a location I simply unhook the key I need and do my thing and then come back to the car and put the key back on the ring and go to the next location. Or if I am servicing alot of machiones in one day, I hook the master ring onto my belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedk Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 If you don't have too many, someone suggested color coding your keys. Mark the color at the top of your route sheet and go in with the right key. I only have about 6 different keys and I carry them all. I think I may color code the machines as well.

lurker Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I too do it like Anderson Vending, each set has it's own key tag. Mine are all color-coded, and numbered. ie: Blue 101, Yellow 102, Green 103, etc... Each location has it's own Service Record sheet and lists what color and key number go with that particular machine. Each machine is also numbered on the back with it's appropriate key number, just in case. I, so far, only have 4 sets to keep up with. More to come later. This system helps keep me organized, and makes servicing faster, when I don't have to guess what key to use next. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer980 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I orginally marked mine with sharpie pen with the machine on one side and the machine number on the other. In my route book I keep track of the machine number in each location. It is wearing off so I think I will fork out $25 for an engraver and try that.

AmuseStar Vending Co Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Well, all my machines are 1 key number. I have 1 clip key chain with that single key on it, and then the other clip key chain has my crane, and snack keys on it. Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDERSONVENDING Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 beer980, Go to a hardware stoore or harbor freight, you can get a 10 pack for a couple dollars that are color coded and come with a shower hook to keep them on. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
