Lock Re-Key and Master Key (484) 547-7345

History of Re-keying
Re-keying was first invented in 1836 by Solomon Andrews, a New Jersey locksmith. His lock had adjustable tumblers and keys, allowing the owner to re-key it at any time. Later in the 1850s, inventors Andrews and Newell patented removable tumblers which could be taken apart and scrambled. The keys had bits that were interchangeable, matching varying tumbler configurations. This arrangement later became the basis for combination locks.

Master Key System
A master key operates a set of several locks. Usually, there is nothing special about the key itself, but rather the locks into which it will fit. These master-keyed locks are designed to open with two different keys; one which is specific to each lock (the change key) and cannot operate any of the others in the set, and the master key, which opens all the locks in the set. Locks that have master keys have a second set of the mechanism used to operate them that is identical to all of the others in the set of locks. For example, master keyed pin tumbler locks will have two shear points at each pin position, one for the change key and one for the master key. A far more secure (and more expensive) system has two cylinders in each lock, one for the change key and one for the master key.

Larger organizations, with more complex "grandmaster key" systems, may have several levels of master keys, where the top level grandmaster key works in all of the locks in the system. A practical attack exists to create a working master key for an entire system given only access to a single master-keyed lock. (Source: Wikipedia)

In other words, this system has been used for years and takes a skilled professional to re-key the tumbler twice, and set the pins to match 2 keys.

LockTech24/7 Locksmith is a full service on-site commercial locksmith. Our technicians will come to you in a matter of minutes and can handle all of your commercial locksmith needs. Our master key services create a single key to operate all locks in a building while also providing individual keys that only have access to specified doors, allowing employers to maintain different levels of access for employees.

This can further be scaled up to include multiple supervisors with separate master keys that are separate from each other while a office manager carries a Grand Master key that would work all the locks of the multiple departments.
