This is the third time I have used Lock and Key and each time they have been extremely helpful and always met my requirements. Once you use keyed alike you really appreciate not having to carry muliple keys around with you.

What a master key quote typically includes
Quotes vary by door types, tiers, and key control requirements, but the structure is always the same: define the hierarchy, specify the cylinders, and ensure the suite remains expandable.
Hierarchy design
GMK/MK/SMK/CK structure based on how your site actually operates.
Cylinder & door spec
Euro/oval/rim cylinders, thumbturn needs, override keys, and door furniture compatibility.
Key control options
Restricted/patented profiles, controlled ordering routes, and re-order references.
Documentation pack
Cylinder schedule, key references, and re-order identifiers to make future work painless.
Install / supply
Supply-only or supply-and-install depending on site constraints and timelines.
Expansion plan
Future doors and phases structured into the suite from day one.

See how your whole system connects
Explore your keys, groups and communal doors in a visual system map. See expected access connections, give people the keys they need, and manage orders and permissions in one secure place.
You decide who gets the keys.
An order outside someone’s access comes to you for approval. Check who is ordering, where the keys are going and exactly what they requested. Approve it when it checks out, or deny it when it doesn’t.
Pair these approvals with PREM 4, our usual patented keyway, for control over key supply as well as who can order. Every decision leaves a record in your system’s history.
