What is a master key system?

Master keying is a modification of the internal workings of a lock which then allows more than one key with different cuts to operate in the same lock. A qualified Locksmith can design a master key system to allow one key to open every lock in a building but also restrict access to certain locks with certain keys. With the use of Master, Sub-Master and Change keys Locksmiths are able to design a system with tiered levels of security, giving the customer better control over who has access to which areas, floors or doors.

A master key system can help to control access to much more than just standard door locks.
