Master keying consultancy
Master keying enables buildings to satisfy security and access needs with greater key control
A master key system is a platform that enables authorised personnel to have access to the areas they need, while ensuring the master key can open all the locks in a building. Depending on the nature, size and complexity of a site, we have a range of master key platforms available, meaning we can help you create a plan that is perfectly suited to meet your site’s needs.
Master keying enables buildings to satisfy security and access needs with greater key control. Our consultants have extensive experience and in-depth knowledge on specifying the right master key platform for a site, having collaborated with decision-makers responsible for everything from smaller commercial premises to healthcare sites such as Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust, which has large and complex key demands.
Whether it’s a new facility or an existing building that needs its master key platform upgrading – perhaps because of an expired patent or poor key management processes – our goal is to streamline master key solutions. The result? A master key system that’s easy for people to use, while at the same time being secure and able to accommodate all the varying needs of that environment, which can be quite a complicated undertaking.
We’ve been so impressed with the master key system from ASSA ABLOY that we’re now planning to review the rest of the estate in line with the capabilities of the platform, with a view to roll it out to other facilities across the site.

With the patent protection on our previous master key cylinder system soon running out, this posed a substantial risk around key duplication. ASSA Triton2 offers patent protection until 2036, which makes it a fantastic investment for the college, protecting us until then against unauthorised key copying.
