Custom Master Key Systems in Phoenix, AZ
Simplify your security. Stop carrying a bulky keychain and grant specific access levels to employees or tenants with a professionally designed master key system.
Master Keying Solutions
Custom System Design
We work with you to map out your building’s security needs, creating a hierarchical key system where one master key opens all doors, while individual keys open only specific ones.
Master Rekeying Services
You don’t always need new hardware. We can often rekey your existing commercial or residential locks to fit into a newly created master key system, saving you money.
Grand Master & Sub-Master
For large facilities or multi-building campuses, we design advanced systems featuring Grand Master keys for executives, and Sub-Master keys for department managers or janitorial staff.
Property Management Solutions
Manage apartments or rental homes? We provide landlord master keys that grant access to all units, while ensuring tenants only have access to their individual apartments and common areas.
High-Security Keyways
We implement master systems using restricted, patented keyways (like Medeco, Schlage Primus, or Mul-T-Lock) to ensure keys cannot be duplicated without your explicit authorization.
System Expansion & Maintenance
If your business is growing, we can expand your existing master key system. We keep accurate, secure records of your lock bitting to issue new keys or add new doors seamlessly.

Master Key Setup FAQs
Do I have to buy all new locks to set up a master key system?
Not necessarily. If your current locks are of the same brand or share the same keyway profile (e.g., all Schlage or all Kwikset), we can simply remove the cylinders and rekey them to a master system, saving you the cost of new hardware.
What is the difference between a Master Key and a Grand Master Key?
A Master Key opens all locks within a specific group or department. A Grand Master Key sits at the very top of the hierarchy and opens everything in the entire building or campus, including all the locks under the individual Master Keys.
Can you master key my home?
Yes. While most common in commercial buildings, residential master keying is great for homeowners who want one key for their front door, back door, garage, and padlock, while giving a dog walker or housekeeper a key that only opens the side door.
How do I prevent employees from copying their keys?
The best way is to set up your master key system on a “restricted keyway.” These keys require a special authorization card and signature to be duplicated, and standard hardware stores do not carry the key blanks.
