  • Staff need access to only their areas
  • Too many separate keys to carry
  • Keys copied without authorization

How our Master Key System works in Oakland

Our master key system process in Oakland is straightforward and transparent from the first call:

Map the doors: We chart which roles need which doors.

Design keying: We build the master/sub-master hierarchy.

Install and pin: We pin cylinders to the plan and cut keys.

Document: We provide a key schedule for management.

We come prepared. Our Oakland service vehicles carry the blanks, cylinders, programmers, and hardware for the vast majority of jobs, which is why we can usually finish in one trip instead of scheduling a return visit.

Throughout the visit we keep you in the loop. Before we touch anything on your Oakland property, you will know what we found, what we recommend, and what it will cost — so there are never surprises when the work is done.
