Master Key Systems

One key for the owner, the right doors for everyone else, and no more hand-stamping copies for every new hire.

A master key system is a commercial keying setup where one master key opens every lock in a building, while each individual key opens only its assigned door. We design and cut the keying hierarchy, re-pin your existing locks, and hand you a key schedule so you control exactly who gets into what across your office, retail space, or property.

Simple & fast

How Master Key Systems Work

We map your access needs, design the keying hierarchy, then re-pin your locks so one master opens everything and each key opens only its door.

  1. 1

    On-site walkthrough

    A tech comes to you, counts your doors, checks your existing hardware, and asks who needs access to which areas. This is where we catch problem doors before they cost you.

  2. 2

    Design the key hierarchy

    We build a keying schematic with your master, sub-masters for departments or floors, and individual change keys. You approve who opens what before we cut a single pin.

  3. 3

    Re-pin and hand off

    We re-pin or swap your cylinders on site, test every door, then give you labeled keys and a written key schedule for your records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Re-keying changes one lock so old keys stop working; master keying adds a second key combination to each cylinder so a single master opens many doors while each door still has its own key. Master keying is the layered version built across a whole building.
