Pótkulcs

Pótkulcs, also known as a spare key, is a secondary key that is kept separate from the primary key to a property or vehicle. The purpose of a pótkulcs is to provide access in case the primary key is lost, stolen, or otherwise unavailable. It is typically issued by the manufacturer or owner of the property or vehicle, and is often stored in a safe place, such as a key box or with a trusted individual.

The use of a pótkulcs is common in many countries and is often required by law for certain types of properties, such as rental units or vehicles. In some cases, the pótkulcs may be issued by a third party, such as a locksmith or key duplication service, and may come with additional features, such as a tracking device or a unique code that must be entered to activate the key.

While a pótkulcs can provide peace of mind in case of a key emergency, it is important to note that it also presents a security risk. If a pótkulcs is lost or stolen, it can be used by an unauthorized person to gain access to the property or vehicle. Therefore, it is important to keep the pótkulcs in a safe place and to regularly review and update the list of authorized individuals who have access to it. Additionally, some properties may have additional security measures in place, such as alarm systems or security cameras, to further protect against unauthorized access.
