Master Key

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers. If yours is not here, just ask us.

What is a master key system?
A hierarchy. Each person gets a key that opens only their own door, while a master key opens a defined group of doors and a grand master opens everything. It gives a manager or owner access without handing out a ring of thirty keys.
Can you extend a system we already have?
Usually yes, if we can identify the keyway and reconstruct or obtain the existing key chart. Bring us a key and we will tell you what you are working with.
How do we stop staff making unauthorised copies?
Use a patented restricted keyway. Blanks are not sold on the open market, and copies can only be cut with authorisation on file. It is the only approach that actually works.
Someone lost a master key. What now?
Rekey the level that key opened, and any level above it. We can scope exactly which doors are affected from your key chart and do it with minimal disruption.
