How is master keying used?

Master keying gives you the ability to use one key to open one or more locks that are not keyed the same.

Master keying is commonly used for commercial buildings, where a user may have a key to an office that can also open the bathroom or closet. A simple use is a janitor may have a single key that opens every door in the building.

It can also be used for apartment complexes so that each renter has a key to their apartment, which can also be used to open the main door into their building or other common areas.

How does master keying work?

Without getting too technical, locks that are master keyed are “pinned” in a way that allows one key to unlock multiple locks while allowing a different key to operate the same door. When your facility is master keyed you will have a master key that unlocks everything and then you would have user/employee keys. The user key will only open a specific door, this is the beauty of master keying.

It can also be used for apartment complexes so that each renter has a key to their apartment, which can also be used to open the main door into their building or other common areas.

When should you consider master keying?

Whether you have a single floor office building or a multi-floor building, master keying can help you grant access selectively to one or more locks and to certain key-holders. Master keying offers the convenience of a single key for yourself or other (hopefully trustworthy) persons.
