  • What is a Master Key System?

    A Master Key System comprises a hierarchy of keys and a number of cylinders / locks that allow different groups or individual key holders to gain access to all or specifically designated areas of a building or buildings.

    Put simply, a master keyed lock is a lock that is designed to be opened by a specific individual key or keys, and can also be opened by using a master key.

    Master Key Systems play a critical role in the area of physical security and are used to control access to facilities such as perimeters, entire buildings, and specified spaces within a building. Usually fitted across one or more sites they range in size from a few doors to multiple buildings or assets across the city, country or indeed the globe. More often than not they are built up on a restricted key system to allow for key control. Their design can be from a very simple master key and user key design to complex keying structure.

  • We moved in a new house, should we get new keys?

    Yes: if you don't know who else owns a key of your home you are potentially at risk.

    Think about it, a previous houseowner, babysitter or a family member of the previous owner may still own a duplicate key to your home. In case you are not 100% sure we advise to either rekey the existing locks, which can be done relatively cheap in most cases, or to completely replace the existing locks.
