What happened?
Too many keys
A ring for every manager and nobody sure which key fits which door. A master key system fixes that.
The push bar sticks
Exit devices that stick, drag or don't latch when the door closes.
Can't open up
Locked out of the building at the start of the day? See lockouts.
How a master key system works
Each lock is set up to take two keys: its own key and the master. People carry one key that opens only their doors. Managers carry one key that opens them all.
- Master key
- Opens every lock in the system.
- Change key
- Opens one lock, or one group of locks.
- Grand master
- Sits above several masters, for larger sites.
What changes the price
- How many doors and locks
- Rekey, or new hardware
- How many keys, and how many key levels
- The kind of hardware: standard locks or exit devices
Questions business owners ask
Can every door use the same key?
Often, yes. If the locks take the same kind of key blank, they can be rekeyed to match. That's called keyed alike.
Our push bar sticks. Does the whole thing need replacing?
Not always. An exit device can often be adjusted or repaired, and sometimes a new one is the better choice. Describe it when you call.
