Master Key Systems in Sacramento

Licensed, insured and bonded. California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services License No. LCO 6830. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Proof of ownership is required before any lock is opened.

A master key system is a plan before it is hardware. Get the schedule right and it runs for years; get it wrong and fixing it means rekeying every cylinder in the building.

What the job involves

• Designing the keying schedule — who opens what
• Grand master, master and change keys for multi-level access
• Pinning and installing cylinders to the schedule
• Restricted keyways so copies cannot be cut at a kiosk
• Documenting the system so it can be extended later

What to have ready when you call

• A door list and who needs to open each one
• How many key holders at each level
• Whether the building may expand
• Evidence you are authorized to instruct the work

Honest limits

Every additional level of masterage slightly reduces the pinning's resistance to manipulation. A schedule with fewer, well-chosen levels is stronger than one that masters everything to everything.
