Master key locks are a type of locking system commonly used in buildings where multiple locks are installed, and there's a need for different levels of access control. These locks are designed to be opened by two different keys: a master key and a regular key.
Here's how they work:
Regular Key: Each individual lock has its own unique regular key, which can only open that specific lock. This key is typically given to the person who needs access to a particular room or area.
Master Key: The master key is a special key that can open multiple locks within the system. It provides access to all the locks in the system, allowing a designated person (such as a building manager or security personnel) to access all areas.
Key Hierarchy: Master key systems can be hierarchical, meaning that there can be different levels of master keys. For example, there can be a grand master key that opens all locks in a building, and then sub-master keys that open specific groups of locks.
Security: It's crucial to maintain the security of master key systems. If a master key falls into the wrong hands, it could potentially compromise the security of the entire building. Therefore, access to master keys is usually restricted to trusted individuals.
Lock Types: Master key systems can be implemented with various types of locks, including pin tumbler locks, wafer locks, or electronic locks.
Installation: Setting up a master key system requires careful planning and installation. Locksmiths or security professionals typically design and implement these systems to ensure they meet the specific needs of a building or facility.
Master key systems are commonly used in apartment complexes, office buildings, hotels, and other situations where multiple locks and varying levels of access control are needed. It's important to work with a professional locksmith or security expert when designing and implementing a master key system to ensure it is both effective and secure.

Thank you. I had the concepts, but I just needed a clear, concise explanation and visualization, and this was it.

[@oldfart4711]

Great info from a REAL PRO!

[@user-hf3et2jd1j]

you can decode the master keyed locks and make a master key for the system. and possibly get into other doors. you need to use high security locks like assa abloy or medico locks.make it harder for making keys . have a nice day.

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

Doing this for the past 35+ yrs :-)

What happens if you get a number below a 2, for master pins, in any system other than a Kwikset?

[@user-jt6ny6pj2u]

How much is the difference between a zero and nothing!! Just write 0😮

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

“0” Pins :-)

[@bm03431]

How many layers of master keying can be done? Ie room, hall, floor, building, master, etc

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

Levels of Master keying only limited by your budget and imagination.

[@jonc4403]

Just keep in mind the more master wafers you add, the easier the lock is to pick.

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

@@jonc4403 Depends on the lock. Abloy Protec 2 is extremely secure even when Master Keyed.

Hey!
Let's say for example that I've been called to do a master rekey for kwikset / schlage lock and the manager gave me he's master key.
the master key cuts are : X 3 4 X 1 (only 3 cuts out of 5) and the future tenant key is : 2 5 2 3 3 .
What do you do in this situation?

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

X=0?
