The idea here is so the locksmith will continue to be the one who maintains the system. There is a substantial amount of time and energy involved in creating a master key system, and most locksmiths usually do not list on the invoice as a line item the master key system. Now, locksmiths are fairly independent individuals, and may not like someone else working on a master key system and compromising it.Īs a rule of thumb, if the creation of a master key system is not specifically mentioned in the original invoice, the locksmith who created it owns it.
This is usually a red flag to the locksmith, which may signal that another locksmith may be involved for some reason. (The average life expectancy of a master key system is less than five years).Īt some point in time, either due to a change in personnel, or contractor involvement, the facility may request a copy of the bitting array. Once installed, the master key system and its bitting array (the chart showing the system and how the keys are cut) will be maintained and secured by the local locksmith. Any changes or additions to the facility or the system can be systematically addressed for proper key function, and to eliminate unwanted key exchange, after another keying conference.
The system is created based upon the initial keying conference, with room in the system to allow for expansion. Your local locksmith creates, implements, and maintains the master key system that protects your facility.
