Master Key System Services in Nottingham
A master key system can be a complex, but hugely effective security method whereby a single key can open all or just one lock.
Halls Locksmiths specialise in master key systems. We design and manufacture Master Keys in-house within our workshop, ensuring a fast turn-around for additional keys without the usual lengthy delays.
We can create master key systems from many manufacturers including Assa, Abloy, Union, Abus, Grundman, Iseo, Kaba, DOM and Mul T Lock.
Want to know how Master Key Systems can keep you secure?
Master keys can be in the form of:
A traditional key
A card, fob and mechatronic keys
How it works
Master key systems work in a hierarchy or a ‘family tree’ arrangement and give significant flexibility in deciding who has access to what properties.
The top key is called the ‘Grand Master Key’, the next keys down are called ‘Master Keys’ and the keys underneath those are called ‘Sub Master Keys’. The bottom line of keys with the least amount of access, are the ‘User Keys’ or ‘Servant Keys’.
The Grand Master Key fits all locks, the Master and Sub-Master keys fit a smaller range of locks and the Servant key will only fit one.
This system can be replicated using electronic reading devices such as proximity readers for fobs or cards and mechatronic locks and keys. They can also be ‘networked’ to a single control point for greater monitoring.
