Master class. Master of ceremonies. Headmaster. Any word immediately becomes more powerful when you add the word “master” to it, doesn’t it? The same applies to master keys, which are more robust and secure than traditional keys.
When it comes to the keys for your business, though, who should you trust? Does a master key system make sense for you? How do they work? We cover all of this in today’s article.
How Master Keys Work
There are high-security locks available today that are pick-, bump- and drill-resistant—and keys that open them that cannot be copied by unauthorized personnel. Known as master keys, these devices function and look like traditional keys, but have extra security features and technology that allow you to customize where they will work. Specifically, there are components known as “master wafers” that work with the cylinders in a lock to control access. It’s also important to note that master keys can open all locks, while “change keys” only open a master lock.
Who Should Get A Master Key
Any business owner who wants to enjoy top-quality security without sacrificing peace of mind about employee access can enjoy the benefits of a master key system. These products offer top quality security without sacrifice. From simple high-security deadbolts to digital deadbolts that only allow certain keys access depending on the time of day, we have you covered. Here are some of the benefits of master keys:
- Reduces the number of keys you carry around and track
- It’s easier to open doors in emergency situations
- You have more control over who can access all areas of your business
- It’s much easier to track employees and products
- Changing master key locks, keys or permissions is easy
