The key store comprises: a plurality of key cylinders, each key cylinder corresponding to one of the plurality of keys; each key cylinder having a drive mechanism for actuation of the key or key cylinder between a first position in which the key is secured in the key cylinder and a second position in which the key is removable from the cylinder, each of said drive mechanisms adapted to receive a trigger for actuation from a controller.
