How does a master key system work?
A master key system pins each lock so a master key opens every door, sub-master keys open a group such as one floor, and change keys open a single door. Managers carry one key while everyone else opens only what they need. Restricted keys stop unauthorized copies.
How it works
- Master keyopens every lock in the system
- Sub-master keysopen a group, such as one floor or department
- Change keysopen a single door

Walk the property
or review the floor plan

who opens what, with room to grow
Pin and stamp every lock and key
so each key is easy to identify
Protect the master
“Do not duplicate” stamps don’t stop copies. Restricted keyways do. They’re worth it for any master key.

Get my price rangeCan you master-key our existing locks?
Often, yes, if they’re compatible. We check the brand and condition.
What if a master key is lost?
The affected locks are rekeyed at that level. Restricted keys limit the risk.
Does master keying weaken locks?
Slightly, since more keys can open each lock. Restricted keyways and key control offset that.
