Commercial locksmith FAQ
What is a master key system?
A master key system lets one key open every door while individual keys open only their own door. Sub-master keys can cover a floor or department. It suits offices, apartment buildings and schools.
What are restricted keyways?
Restricted keyways use key blanks that ordinary hardware stores can't copy, so you control who gets a duplicate.
Can you change locks when an employee leaves?
Yes. Re-keying the affected locks is usually the quickest fix. Commercial re-keying starts at $19 per lock plus the $29 service call fee.
