Master key systems for businesses in the Lehigh Valley
A master key system lets one key open every door while each employee’s key opens only the doors they need. The owner carries one key. A manager’s key opens the front door and the stock room but not the office. It’s set up inside the locks, by the way each cylinder is pinned.
A master key system makes sense when:
- Managers open or close the building without you
- Some rooms should stay off limits to most staff
- You carry a ring of keys for one building
- Several tenants or departments share an entrance
How we set one up
We start by walking the building with you and listing who needs to open what. From that we plan the key levels, repin the locks to match and cut the keys. Locks that can’t take part in the system are pointed out before any work starts.
Keep a written record of who holds which key. When someone leaves with a key, the affected locks can be handled with a commercial lock rekey without redoing the whole system. If a lock is worn out, see commercial lock installation. For restricted keys and tougher cylinders, see high-security locks in Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton.
An example of key levels
Picture a small office building. Each tenant’s key opens only that tenant’s suite. The cleaning crew’s key opens every suite and the supply closet. The owner’s key opens all of that plus the mechanical room. It all runs on ordinary-looking keys.
The plan should live on paper as well as in the locks. With a chart of which key opens which door, adding a suite or replacing a lost key later doesn’t mean starting over.
