Understanding Master Key Systems.
Have you ever wondered what is a Master Key System and if it's something you might need? While the concept can be a bit technical, we’re here to make it easier to understand. Let us break it down for you, we will explain the benefits of master keying, and also clear up common confusion with a similar concepts.
Master Keying
Imagine a building with different levels of access. A Master Key System lets you assign keys based on an employee's role. It is a planned hierarchical system where specific keys can open multiple doors. It offers convenience by allowing one key to operate many locks, reducing the need for multiple keys.
It is important to note that while master keying provides ease of use, it slightly compromises the lock's security by increasing it's tolerances (making the lock easier to pick). With master key system you are balancing the need for convenience with a slight compromise in security.
People often confuse Master keying for Maison keying. Now let's break down the concept of Maison Keying.
Maison Keying
In contrast to Master Keying, Maison Keying involves multiple 'change keys' that lack a hierarchical structure or added security. This approach simply allows many keys to operate a single lock, often used for convenience in settings where high security is not a priority.
Sometimes, having a lock keyed to many keys is sufficient. It's all about finding the right balance between convenience and security.
Our Master Key System Capabilities.
At Keywe Locksmith Calgary, we specialize in designing and implementing a variety of Master Key Systems, customized to meet different security levels and access needs. Whatever your specific requirements, we can craft a master key system that fits your property and ensures the right balance between convenience and security.
There are several techniques locksmiths use to create Master Key Systems. It is usually a split pin or multiplex key systems, or a combination of both. We want to explain both for you so you would have a general understating of how these systems are possible and what is required.
Split Pin Master Keying
With this technique a locksmiths is adding additional Top Pin (master pin) to your lock pin stack which is creating another 'shear point'. This effectively allows more than one key to open the lock. This is the most common and the most fundamental way of master keying a lock.
Multiplex Key Systems
Multiplex master keying is often used in large-scale settings like schools, campuses, or large buildings. This system is based on a hierarchy of key sections, each with its own unique keyway profile.
In simple terms, think of a multiplex key system as a system of keys, each designed to operate specific lock sections but it is predetermined. To achieve hierarchy this time we will be using different shapes of the key profile.
Multiplex systems are great when developing big master key systems without an excessive reliance on master pins.
A Multiplex system will look like the diagram below. Many different keyways named by letters and a diagram showing which keyway opens which section of locks.
And for even bigger projects Keywe's professionals can combine both systems for an even more complex system that will cover your security needs. So whether you're managing a large facility or need a practical solution for a smaller space, we can design a Master Key System that balances convenience with security, tailored just for you.
