Dealer plate management systems
Secure, compliant, and built for dealership workflows
Dealer plates are vital dealership assets, and quickly become potential liabilities if not properly controlled. KEYper dealer plate management systems provide secure, traceable access control for every plate, ensuring that only authorized users can issue, transport, and return them.
Built on the proven MX and LT platforms, KEYper systems give you flexibility to manage dealer plates as a dedicated solution or as part of an integrated key management program—all built upon reliable products, strict user authentication, and detailed auditing of all dealer plate access.

How it works
KEYper Lock-In dealer plate systems use the same trusted platform as our MX electronic key cabinets, bringing secure, authenticated control to every dealer plate. Each plate is individually locked inside the cabinet and released only to authorized users.
Every transaction is logged automatically, capturing who accessed the cabinet, which plate was removed, and when it was returned. In integrated configurations, keys and plates can be issued together in a single transaction, ensuring efficient processes and full compliance with dealership policies.
Key features
- Secure steel cabinet with individually locking plate positions
- Simple transactions through the intuitive touchscreen
- Complete digital audit trail of all transactions
- Configurable layouts for plates, keys, or both
- Seamless integration with existing MX key management systems
Three configuration options
Standalone system
A dedicated Lock-In cabinet designed specifically for dealer plate management. It operates as an independent solution using the same proven platform as our MX key cabinets. Ideal for dealerships that want physical locking and accountability for plates only.
Extension cabinet
Adds dealer plate management to an existing MX key control system. The extension cabinet connects directly to an existing MX system, allowing users to access both keys and dealer plates from the same interface—and complete both transactions at once.
Hybrid cabinet
Combines Lock-In dealer plate and MX key panels within a single cabinet, securing both assets in one enclosure. This integrated configuration simplifies operations, reduces footprint, and maintains a unified audit trail for all issued assets.
KEYper LT dealer plate system

App-based access with simplified compliance
For dealerships seeking a more cost-effective solution, the KEYper LT dealer plate system delivers reliable user authentication and digital documentation through the KEYper GO mobile app.
Authorized users unlock the LT cabinet using their mobile device, then scan a tag affixed to the desired dealer plate when removing or returning it. The transaction is then recorded and attributed to that user—providing a clear record of cabinet access and plate activity.
Key benefits
- Easy mobile authentication through the KEYper GO app
- Digital record of cabinet access and claimed plates
- Streamlined design for compliance-driven operations
- Cost-effective solution for documenting dealer plate access
This system provides a practical balance of control and accountability, helping dealerships meet regulatory requirements without the need for fully electronic locking hardware.
