Master Key Systems
Master Key Systems are just one of the many services that Locksmith San Diego’s locksmiths are qualified to deliver. We pride ourselves on providing our customers with a host of advanced locksmith services.
What is a Master Key System?
A Master Key is a key that operates a set of several locks. In these systems the key is just a regular key but the locks are configured to operate with two or more different keys. One of the keys, the Change Key, is specific to a certain lock and cannot operate any of the other locks in the set and the other key is the Master Key – this is a key which operates ALL of the locks in the set.
Locks in Master Key Systems have two sets of mechanisms in them, one of which is identical in all of the locks in the system, for the Master Key. A much more secure Master Key system has two cylinders in each lock, one for the Change Key and one for the Master Key.
Who needs a Master Key System?
Anyone that has to carry a lot of keys and anyone that wants a more secure lock system. This system is especially helpful if you keep all the keys to a residential or commercial building.
What are the advantages of a Master Key System?
- Increases security by limiting access and allowing you to manage who has access to certain areas.
- You no longer have to carry so many keys.
- You will never be locked out.
- Entering the building is much easier and faster.
- You will have less keys to keep an eye on and to make sure that they are in the right hands.
- They keys are high security patented to prevent unauthorized duplication
