  • All facilities must establish a key and lock control program for all keys, locks, padlocks, and locking devices to meet security and loss prevention objectives.​
• KEY SECURITY AND LOCK CONTROL​

  • This does not include keys, locks and padlocks used for convenience, privacy, administrative, or personal use. ​
• KEY SECURITY AND LOCK CONTROL​

• 1. Keys and locks cannot be adequately controlled without proper inventory. Frequency of inventories shall be tailored for the local circumstance especially circumstances that hinder and create problems of maintaining key control.​
• 2. Certain controls may be employed such as electronic keys tags to ensure whereabouts of issued keys are located thus eliminating misplaced keys.​
• 3. Lockouts​

  • If a lock does not work properly, do not assume the reason is innocent. Although failure of a locking device could be a result of a product malfunction, it could also be a result of attempted or actual illegal penetration or tampering.​
•  AREA DESIGNATIONS​ -

  •  The decision to designate areas as either a ​
  • "Controlled Area" or a ​
  • "Restricted Area" ​

  should be made in conjunction with a decision to close the property or a portion thereof to the public​
• A. CONTROLLED AREA​ -

  • A controlled area is defined as a room, office, building or other form of facility to which access is monitored, limited, or controlled. ​

  ​
• A. CONTROLLED AREA​

  • Admittance to a controlled area is limited to persons who have official business within the area. ​
• A. CONTROLLED AREA​

  • Responsible managers are authorized to designate an area as a controlled area after adequate security measures are in place. ​
• B. RESTRICTED AREA​-A restricted area is a room, office, building, or other form of facility to which access is strictly controlled. ​
• B. RESTRICTED AREA​ -

  • Admittance to a restricted area is limited to personnel assigned to the area and persons who have been specifically authorized access to the area. ​
• B. RESTRICTED AREA​ -

  • Visitors to a restricted area and uncleared personnel must be escorted by personnel assigned to the area and all classified information must be protected from observation, disclosure, or removal. ​
• B. RESTRICTED AREA​ -

  • The responsible manager is authorized to designate an area as a restricted area after adequate security measures are in place. ​
• A. Purpose​- A vault is a completely enclosed space with a high degree of protection against forced entry. Vaults are commonly used for storing Top Secret information, special access program information, and extremely valuable materials.​
•    B. Construction​ -

  • A vault is constructed to meet rigid specifications. The wall, floor, and ceiling construction shall be in accordance with nationally recognized standards of construction practice. An approved vault door and frame unit shall be used.​

  ​
• B. Construction​ -

  • Miscellaneous openings, where ducts, pipes, registers, sewer, and tunnels are of such size and shape as to permit unauthorized entry (normally in excess of 96 square inches in area and over six inches in its smallest dimension)​
  • ​
  • shall be secured by 18-gauge expanded metal or wire mesh, or where more practical, by rigid metal bars at least 1/2-inch in diameter extending across their width, with a maximum space of 6 inches between the bars. ​

  ​

  • The rigid metal bars shall be securely fastened at both ends to preclude removal and shall have crossbars to prevent spreading.​

  ​
• (1) Class A Vaults -

  • (A) REINFORCED CONCRETE. ​

  The wall, floor, and ceiling will be a minimum thickness of eight (8) inches of reinforced concrete. ​

  ​

  • The concrete mixture will have a comprehensive strength rating of a least 3,000 psi. ​
• (1) Class A Vaults -

  • Reinforcement will be accomplished with steel reinforcing rods, a minimum of 5/8 inches in diameter, positioned centrally and spaced horizontally and vertically 6 inches on center; rods will be tied or welded at the intersections. The reinforcing is to be anchored into the ceiling and floor to a minimum depth of one-half the thickness of the adjoining member.​
• (b) Modular​ -

  • Modular panel wall, floor, and ceiling components, manufactured of intrusion-resistant material, intended for assembly at the place of use, and capable of being disassembled and relocated meeting Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) standards are approved for vault construction.​
• (c) Steel-lined​ -

  • Vaults may be constructed of steel alloy-type, such as U.S. Steel T-1, having characteristics of high-yield tensile strength or normal structural steel with a minimum thickness of 1/4 inch. ​

  ​

  • The metal plates are to be continuously welded to load-bearing steel members of a thickness equal to that of the plates. ​
