A method and apparatus for identification and control of the handling of keys which will register when a key is removed from and returned to an identification and control device. The identification code of the user is fed into a control center ( 4 ) and the identification code is forwarded to a printed circuit card ( 18 ) of a local control and indication unit ( 2 ) so that the removability and the removal of a key is registered and indicated on the control and indication unit ( 2 ) by the control center ( 4 ). The identification and control device ( 3 ) has a pin-like, hollow shell ( 26 ) with a printed circuit card ( 42 ) and a chip ( 43 ). The chip ( 43 ) has a unique code for each identification and control device ( 3 ). The hollow shell ( 26 ) is inserted into a hole ( 23 ) in the local control and indication unit ( 2 ) and engages with a contact ( 19 ) whereby information is forwarded, via the printed circuit card ( 42 ) and the chip ( 43 ) of the device ( 3 ), to the printed circuit card ( 18 ) of the local control and indication unit ( 2 ). |
