For aviation enthusiasts, perhaps no place resonates more with flight history and culture than the Seattle area. Home to Boeing, the Museum of Flight and numerous other aviation attractions, the area is a treasure trove for visitors.
One of the most popular sites is historic Paine Field, a unique airport located about 30 miles north of downtown Seattle. Paine Field is a major tourist destination with its many aviation- oriented attractions as well as being home to the Boeing manufacturing plant for 747, 767, 777 and 787 aircraft. Additionally, the airport offers high-quality aviation facilities and more than 600 aircraft, including small, single engine recreational aircraft and corporate jets are located there.
Like many other airports, Paine Field has taken proactive steps to assure facility security and the safety of employees, pilots, visitors, contractors and others who have reason to be on-site. One of these measures has been the lock and key re-coring of the entire airport. To ensure that new master keys are securely stored and accounted for, management at Paine Field relies on their Morse Watchmans KeyWatcher Touch and KeyWatcher Illuminated key control and management system.
“Tracking of keys, whether masters or regular, is very important to us and the KeyWatcher system allows us to have accountability for all of our keys. We can see at any given time where a key is and if someone has not turned in a key, we can go back to that individual to retrieve it,” said Erick Vestey, Maintenance Technologist lll, Paine Field.
Adding on to the system with new KeyWatcher Touch units was an easy decision for management. In the five years that Paine Field had been using the original KeyWatcher Illuminated cabinet, they never had a problem. And, when they were ready to expand, the old and newer systems were compatible. The other major consideration was the level of customer service provided by Morse Watchmans.
