Not sure I follow. What sort of lock are you referring to?

I don't think there's a single piece of software that'll do that. . . however, you can get there with a couple of different pieces of software.

 

I think one of the things you're looking for is key blank interchange data. Probably the best source for that is Blackhawk KBX. It's subscription based but very economical. . . we buy the whole suite from Blackhawk every year, costs about $105 for KBX, Codes Online, and Fill. KBX is $20/year. Well worth it, IMHO.

Now for the issue of where to find them on your keywall. . . I know I've seen software that will allow you to include a "hook no." on a keyblank. . .for some reason I think HPC does that with Codesource but I abandoned that POS years ago for Instacode. Personally I've never found the need to electronically catalog our keywall but if I did I'd probably just map it out in Excel.

 

Using those two devices, if someone came in with, say, a Axxess 68, you could cross that using KBX and see that it's an SC1. Open up Excel and, assuming you've made your chart and then sorted the data by keyblank, scroll down the list until you find SC1, figure out what hook(s) it's on, and voila. . .cut key make money.

I've considered making a simple android app that would keep track of inventory. It would be nice especially for anyone mobile like me, so if i needed to check if ive got something in stock i could do so without running out to my van. Of course you'd have to remember to add or subtract each item everytime you use a blank or restock.

I'd be willing to make a free app for this if enough people were interested and thought it would be useful (assuming there isnt something already out there)
