Steps

The front desk agent verifies the guest name, room number, employee identity, or access request against the approved reservation, staff roster, or authorization list before issuing any key.
The front desk agent selects the correct physical key or electronic key card, assigns it to the authorized person, and records the key ID, room number or access area, date, time, and issuing role in the key log.
The security officer or duty manager issues master keys only to authorized competent persons, records the recipient, time out, expected return time, and reason for use, and confirms the key is never left unattended.
The front desk agent or receiving role inspects the returned key or key card for damage, confirms the key identifier matches the issuance record, and updates the log with the return time and any observed deviation.
The duty manager or security officer compares the current key inventory against the key log at the end of shift or at the scheduled audit time, verifies all master keys are present, and documents any missing, overdue, or unreturned keys.
The duty manager determines whether any key is missing, overdue, damaged, duplicated, or unaccounted for and initiates the incident response path.
The responsible role records the final status, any deviation, escalation reference number, and corrective action in the key-control log, then secures the log or closes the electronic record according to property retention rules.
