ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system that inherently manages the issuance and return of selected articles such as keys, tools, and the like to a retaining or central station. Of prime importance with respect to the present invention is the fact that the system encourages the return of the removed article. More particularly, the system comprises a retaining station where the selected articles are normally maintained in a locked state. An unlocking key is provided for unlocking selected articles in order that the articles may be removed from the retaining station. To encourage the return of removed articles, the retaining station is provided with a key holding and locking assembly for retaining the unlocking key until the removed article has been returned back to the retaining station and placed in the locked mode.
