Stop carrying a different key for every door
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
Carrying a Different Key for Every Door
You manage 20 units and carry 20 keys. We set up one master key that opens every door in your building - maintenance calls take half the time.
Tenants Copying Keys Without Permission
Your tenants made copies at the hardware store and gave them to friends. We use restricted keyways where copies can only be made through you.
Tenant Moved Out but You Can't Rekey Everything
One tenant leaves and suddenly you're worried about every door. Our system lets you reset just that one unit without touching the rest of the building.
Maintenance Staff Needs Access to Common Areas Only
Your cleaning crew shouldn't open tenant units. We create sub-master keys that only open hallways, laundry rooms, and mechanical spaces.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

Tested before handoff Why property managers love master key systems
One Key Instead of Twenty
Management carries a single key that opens every door in the building. No more fumbling through a ring trying to find the right one during an emergency or routine maintenance.
Tenant Turnover Costs Almost Nothing
When a tenant moves out, we reset their unit in minutes without affecting anyone else's keys. Compare that to rekeying your entire building every time someone leaves.
Keys Can't Be Copied Behind Your Back
Restricted keyways mean no one can walk into a hardware store and duplicate your building's keys. Every copy goes through you, period.
Your System Grows With Your Building
We build in capacity for future doors and units. Add a new floor or convert a space - your master key still works without redesigning the whole system.

Master Key Systems FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Can you use my existing locks or do I need all new hardware?
In most cases, we can re-pin your existing commercial locks into a master key system. We'll check your hardware during the site visit and let you know if anything needs replacing.
What happens when a tenant moves out?
We reset just that unit's cylinder so the old tenant key no longer works. Your master key still opens everything, and no other tenants are affected. It takes about 15 minutes per door.
Can tenants copy their keys at a hardware store?
Not with restricted keyways. The key blanks we use aren't available at retail stores or kiosks. Tenants have to come through you to get copies, so you always know how many keys are out there.
How many levels of access can you set up?
As many as you need. A typical setup is: owner (opens everything), maintenance (common areas only), and individual tenant keys (their unit only). We can add more levels for larger buildings.
What if I add more units or doors later?
We design every system with expansion built in. Adding new doors to your existing master key is straightforward and doesn't require rekeying the rest of the building.
