Master Key Suites in Harlow and Surrounding Areas

Here at A & A Sureguard, we are family-run locksmith contractors providing professional solutions across Harlow and the wider Essex region. With over 40 years of experience, we are well-placed to help domestic and commercial customers with all their access requirements.
One such service we provide is master key suites. Also known as master key systems, master key suites are a great way to simplify access to buildings, whilst also enhancing security. Suitable for any multiple-occupancy building, we design and install master key suites across residential blocks, hospitals, office buildings and much more.

What Is a Master Key Suite?

A master key suite is a hierarchical keying system, providing different levels of access to occupants, depending on their ‘right of access’. The nature of master keying systems allows them to be tailored to the type of building you have and to who needs access to certain areas.
A tenant who lives in a multiple-occupancy residential building will need access to the main entrance and their own flat. However, a landlord or property management company will need access to multiple flats in the same building, so they will require a universal key that opens multiple locks. Likewise, a cleaning operative will require access to restricted areas that a tenant does not.

How Master Key Systems Work

A master key system requires the installation of multiple locks in a single building. These locks are often designed with the aid of software to make sure the correct ‘levels of access’ are configured to the individual given the keys. The overall aim of master key systems is to reduce the number of keys required for a building and to improve security.

Types of Keys in a Master Key Suite

Master key suites feature different types of keys:

  • Grand Master – This key provides access across multiple sites. It could be presented to a property management company that manages apartments in different buildings
  • Master – This key typically provides access to all areas of a single building
  • Sub-master – A subset of keys that provides access to a specified area or floor of a building
  • User Keys – These keys are often restricted to one area, such as a single flat or door

There is no doubt that master key suites make managing properties much easier, whilst providing landlords with peace of mind that keys have built-in restrictions.

Benefits ofA Professionally Designed Master Key Suite

There are several reasons why multiple-occupancy property owners should consider master key suite installation.
Master key suites are tailor-made to your requirements. Therefore, individual keys will only work for areas that are authorised for use.
Fewer keys help simplify access and mean you can spend less time keeping track of which keys open which doors. It also helps deal with missing keys more efficiently.
Master key suites are not static and can be programmed to grow with the needs of your organisation or building. Our expandable key systems provide flexibility while ensuring security is still prioritised.

Our Master Key Suite Design and Installation Process

Designing and installing a master key suite is a technical and intricate process, only performed by locksmith professionals. As a team, we will project manage the installation from start to finish.
Our first task when considering a master key suite is to perform an in-depth survey. This typically involves a visit to the site and information gathering, allowing us to map out the building and create an access plan for users.
Master key suites are tailored to your requirements. We create hierarchical key systems that streamline building access and provide room for expansion.
We can install multiple new locks in the building and carry out thorough testing across the entire hierarchical scale of keys to make sure all users have access to the areas they require.

Ongoing Support, Key Cutting and System Expansion

We provide ongoing support with your master key system and can troubleshoot any problems. Likewise, our scalable key systems can incorporate new users as and when required.
Many of us have experienced misplacing our keys, though it doesn’t have to become a major headache. We can replace lost keys and take steps to maintain security in the event of a master key going missing. We also implement stringent record-keeping measures to ensure user details are up-to-date.
Master key suites are very flexible and are designed to accommodate new doors, locks and users to your existing model.

Frequently Asked Questions About Master Key Suites

If you need controlled access across multiple doors or users, such as in apartment buildings, offices, schools, retail spaces or large homes with staff, then a master key system is ideal.  

A master key system  allows different users to access only the areas they’re authorised for. Meanwhile, a single master key can also provide full access for property owners or landlords.

It is often possible to convert your existing lock system into a master key suite. This will depend on the type and condition of your current locks. As part of our initial consultation, we will assess your existing locks and determine their compatibility.

Master key systems can be considered even more secure than standard locks. This is due to their hierarchical design, which places restrictions on user access. The nature of the key design means fewer keys need to be produced, minimising the risk of loss and theft. However, it's worth noting that the most effective master suite key systems are installed by locksmiths with plenty of experience.
