We use Traka key cabinets (L & S series) within our school, with a larger deployment campus wide:
https://www.traka.com/en-us/site/traka-usa/usa-products/key-cabinets/

Our use case is key control and alerting and we've been pleased with the overall functionality and reliability of the 
system. Make sure to insist auth/encryption of network traffic be enabled as the installation team may not do so by 
default. 

Best,
Alex

  I’m curious on what people have had success with for physical key management?

I've not been personally involved in setting them up, but I've seen these used with key card swipe access to the box 
itself.  Seems to be reasonably successful deployment:

If you wanted to talk to someone about specific implementation and deployment details, let me know and I can put you in 
touch with someone off list.
