key holders

Where keys hang

Key holders are people entrusted with keys to a building or facility, typically employees authorized to open and close a business or access restricted areas.

The term implies responsibility beyond mere possession—key holders can respond to alarms, let others in after hours, or secure premises: Only key holders may enter before 7 a.m.
