Frequently Asked Questions About Master Key Systems

1. What is a master key system?

A master key system is a type of lock system that allows a single “master key” to open multiple different locks, while each lock can also be opened by its own individual key. This is achieved through a hierarchical arrangement of key bittings and pinning in the lock cylinders.

2. How long does it take to install a master key system?

The installation time for a master key system can vary significantly depending on the size of the property, the number of locks to be rekeyed or installed, and the complexity of the system design. A small system might take a few hours, while a large commercial property could take several days. We provide an estimated timeline after our initial consultation and assessment.

3. Can I get extra keys made for my master key system?

Yes, extra keys can be made. However, for security reasons, we typically have strict protocols for key duplication. We will discuss and establish these protocols with you during the system design phase to ensure the integrity of your master key system is maintained.

4. What is the difference between a master key and a grand master key?

In a hierarchical system:

• Individual Key: Opens only one specific lock.
• Master Key: Opens a group of locks that are part of the same sub-system.
• Grand Master Key: Opens all locks within the entire system, including those opened by individual keys and master keys.

This allows for tiered access control, granting different levels of access to different personnel.
