We are experts on Key Less Entry Often confused with transponder because they often are in close proximity (in the key head) to each other. Key-less entry is the remote that unlocks your car doors.

However with aftermarket alarm, immobilizer and central locking systems, the one remote may control all three aspects of the system.

We do then as well, these are the keys in high end European designed cars. Over the years their design has grown in complexity and is now usually compared with transponder and key-less entry systems.

Master Key System...

Master Key System comprises a hierarchy of keys and a number of cylinders / locks that allow different groups or individual key holders to gain access to all or specifically designated areas of a building or buildings.

Put simply, a master keyed lock is a lock that is designed to be opened by a specific individual key or keys, and can also be opened by using a master key.

Master Key Systems play a critical role in the area of physical security and are used to control access to facilities such as perimeters, entire buildings, and specified spaces within a buildingUsually fitted across one or more sites they range in size from a few doors to multiple buildings or assets across the city, country or indeed the globe. More often than not they are built up on a restricted key system to allow for key control. Their design can be from a very simple master key and user key design to complex keying structure.

Restricted Keys...

Restricted key systems are designed to give the system owner the highest level of protection against unauthorized key duplication. This is achieved by manufacturers using patents and design registrations to stop unlawful production of the key blanks as well as ensuring that their dealers (Locksmiths) adhere to strict authorization procedures in the cutting of these keys. When a restricted key system is designed and installed a signatory form is given to the owner of the key system. This form requires the customer to complete the contact details and sample signatures of the people that will be registered as the “Authorized Signatories” for specific keys. Only appropriate authorized signatories are able to request copies of the keys. Detailed records are kept by the locksmith of all key requests and changes to authorization. Often these restricted keys are of a high security and pick resistant nature.
