What is a Master Key System?
A master key system is a structured access control solution that allows designated keys to open specific doors while maintaining strict security across a property.
It offers greater control, improved convenience, and reduced key duplication, making it an efficient and cost-effective way to manage access.
With a master key system, users can carry a single key that grants access to multiple authorized areas, such as main entrances, private offices, and storage spaces.
These systems work seamlessly with different lock types, including door locks, cabinet locks, and padlocks, as long as they share a compatible locking cylinder.
Comprehensive Master Key Security
City Locksmiths starts with a site assessment to understand your layout and security requirements. Once designed, the system is installed professionally and supported with ongoing maintenance to ensure long term reliability.
Our master key systems use exclusive key profiles that cannot be duplicated by other locksmiths. Every key issued is recorded and controlled to prevent unauthorised copies.
- Keys can only be cut with our approved blanks
- Only authorised personnel can request new keys
- All issued keys are logged and tracked
- Other locksmiths cannot duplicate your keys
This provides full control over access and confidence that your premises are protected.
Master Key Patent Protection
A master key system must be protected both physically and legally. In New Zealand, patented key systems are recognised under the Patents Act 2013, giving you legal protection if an unauthorised copy is ever made.
City Locksmiths has extensive experience with patented master key systems and operates to MLAA standards. We use registered key blanks available only to authorised locksmiths, and some profiles are designed specifically for the New Zealand market to prevent outside duplication.
Patent protection can last up to fifteen years, allowing you to control who can request new keys and ensuring each one is recorded and traceable. This helps maintain the integrity of your access system and keeps your building secure for the long term.
