Master Key Systems
Shrink the Size of Your Keyring.
Bigger is not always better. Over the course of your business's growth facilities are added and managers come and go. Locks are added, door hardware is changed, and keys are lost. In the end, your once minute key ring has grown to twenty, thirty, or even more keys. The more senior you are, the more you have access to, the bigger your key ring gets. What once took you a few seconds to open, now takes minutes as you fumble with key, after key, after key.
Wouldn't it be nice to have one key that operated every lock in your business: every deadbolt, every door, every padlock, every storage location, everything? It can be done. ACME Locksmith can rekey all of the locks in your facility to work on a master key system. Owners and senior management have keys that work every lock; other members of your team have keys for only the doors they need access to. Your key ring shrinks back to one that fits easily into your pocket-just one key.
What to Expect when doing a Master Key System
ACME Locksmith will sit down with your team to plan out your masterkey system. Simple systems can be planned in just a few minutes, more complex systems with a little more time. We will floorplan your lock access based on the information provided so that every door and lock is accessible to those that need it. In most cases, no new door hardware is needed. The only exceptions are when the building is very old (where misc door hardware has been added over the years) or you are interested in adding padlocks that work on the same key system.
Main Benefits of a Master Key System
Consider the master key chart shown. In this masterkey system the Executive Officer / Owner has access to every door (Green) and access to other doors is limited based on function.
Everyone in this system only needs to carry one key to access everything they need access to. If anyone leaves, or a key is misplaced, only a subset of doors need to be rekeyed. For example, Sr. Managers have access to entry doors and their respective office doors only (as illustrated by the various shades of blue). If any one of these manager's leave, only the entry doors and the manager's office door needs to be rekeyed to fully protect the property.
Lastly, ACME Locksmith can keep a copy of your master key system on file in our offices so that any future changes can be done quickly and not effect other keys on the system.
