Y – Key Exchange Box
Key Exchange Boxes
The Y key exchange box is a product designed to enable the release of keys by insertion of an initial key. The Y box is designed for the release of six or more keys, with no upper limit, with the keys being released in any order once the isolation (end key) has been inserted.
