Master Key Systems Ottawa
A master key system gives you complete control over property access — one key for management, individual keys for tenants or staff, organized in a security hierarchy. Best K Locksmith designs and implements master key systems for Ottawa properties of all sizes.
How Master Key Systems Work
A master key hierarchy: at the top is the Grand Master Key (GMK) that opens every lock. Below it are Master Keys (MK) that open a specific group of locks (e.g., a floor or department). At the bottom are Change Keys (CK) — individual keys that open only one lock. This is achieved by adding master wafers to each cylinder so two different key profiles can rotate the same plug.
Who Needs a Master Key System?
Residential: property managers of multi-unit buildings. Commercial: offices, hotels, schools, medical offices, and retail with multiple departments. Industrial: warehouses with controlled access zones. Any property where different people need different levels of access.
What We Provide
We assess your property, design the key hierarchy, select appropriate lock hardware, cut and key all cylinders, label and document the system, and provide a bitting list for future key additions. Restricted key systems prevent unauthorized key duplication.
