Specialist Locksmith Service

Our expert locksmith can design bespoke master, sub master and restricted access key systems. Our tailormade key suite can provide you with the following:

Grand Master key: Gives you full access across multiple buildings and shouldn’t be given out openly.

Master key: Equally powerful, but gives you full access across one building rather than multiple buildings.

Sub Master key: Gives a designated individual access to a specific, relevant section within a building.

Cleaners, maintenance, and delivery keys: These keys restrict access to relevant areas only, ideal for cleaning, maintenance work and receiving deliveries.

Change key or servant key: This lock only has one key, making it perfect for students, part-time workers, or tenants.

We can offer a full key cutting service specialising in Assa, Tigris and Evva restricted systems. All usual cylinder shapes & sizes are provided including Euro profile, oval profile and Scandinavian profile.

Are you using your Masterkey Suite correctly?

Giving staff access to specific areas of the building and limiting access elsewhere is vitally important but can become a real pain, especially for the facilities manager or caretaker who has to carry around a huge bunch of keys in order to have access to the whole building.

We can provide you with a tailor-made Master Key suite, specific to your requirements to maximise the security of your building, and to minimize the number of keys required. A Master Key suite is a high-quality, smart security system designed to make your life easier. It gives designated key holders access to specific areas or buildings and by restricting access through controlled measures, it increases the general security of a property.

Our team will provide a free site survey and will work with you to design a customised key chart creating a Master Key suite that is specific to your building and that can incorporate multiple access or restriction requirements. Each cylinder and key has a stamp which provides us with the details of the lock and associated users, so replacement keys can be issued quickly and easily.

If you lose a key or need additional copies, the facility to purchase replacement keys on the ‘High Street’ is obviously convenient BUT it comes at the cost of security. An unrestricted cylinder for which keys can be bought at any standard locksmith, means there is NO control of the number of keys in existence and more importantly who is in possession of them.

Only master key systems that offer patent protection can truly protect against illegal key duplication, ensuring that you have greater control over who is issued with authorised keys at all times.

A tailormade Master Key Suite controls security within one or more buildings as it gives designated individuals access to specific parts of a building, for example, different departments, private areas or delivery zones. it also offers more convenience as individuals can have access using one key

Master Key Systems FAQ’s

Q– Can a master key system be rekeyed?

A– No, a master key system cannot be rekeyed to change the initial hierarchy of locks and keys. The master key system is tailormade to suit the clients needs and the original system is final.

Q– If I add additional doors in my building at a later stage can they be included in my existing master key system?

A– Yes, as long as the original system was supplied by KCC we can supply new cylinders and keys to suit your existing suite.

Q– Can I include different types of doors in the same master key system i.e internal doors, external doors, automatic doors, roller shutter doors?

A– Yes, we can supply cylinders to fit all usual door types, including euro-profile, UK oval, scandinavian oval, rim, rim mortice, and padlocks, which can be keyed alike.

Q– Can my master key system cater for businesses with multiple locations?

A– Yes, we can cater for extensive master keying complexity, with as many as several hundred locks operated by a masterkey.
