Master key system design
A documented hierarchy of individual, staff, supervisory and master levels mapped to the actual layout and traffic of your building.

Commercial Locksmith in Strongsville, Ohio
Master key systems, exit hardware and access control planned properly, door by door.
The work
Master key systems, panic hardware, access control, storefront locks and key control for offices, retail units, clinics and warehouses.
Commercial lock work fails for one reason more often than any other: it is done door by door, by whoever happened to be available, with no plan. Two years later nobody knows who holds which key, and a staff departure triggers a full rekey of the building.
We work from a schedule instead. Every door is listed with its function, the people who genuinely need through it, and the egress requirement it has to meet. From that, a key hierarchy and hardware specification are built and documented — individual keys, staff keys, supervisor keys and a single master.
That documentation is the difference between a lock system and a permanent expense. It also means the next person through the door knows exactly what they are looking at.
What we handle
Every job that falls under this service
If it involves a lock, a key, a cylinder or a door that has stopped doing its job, it belongs on this list.
Restricted and high-security keyways
Blanks that cannot be bought at a retail store and duplicates that require authorisation — the cleanest way to end uncontrolled key copying.
Panic bars and exit devices
Supply, fitting and repair of push-bar and touch-bar hardware, with egress confirmed at every exit. Fire-code compliance is not optional and we treat it that way.
Access control and keypad locks
Standalone code locks through to networked door controllers, integrated with the keyed system so nothing sits in isolation.
Storefront and aluminium door hardware
Narrow-stile and glass-door locks, deadlatches, floor and header closers, door closers that no longer hold adjustment, and aluminium frames that have lost alignment.
Cabinets, desks and equipment
File cabinets, cupboards, server racks, display cases and vending equipment, keyed to suit the levels in your master plan.
Included as standard

No upsell script and no mystery line items. This is the baseline on a job of this type.
- A door-by-door survey before any hardware is specified
- Written key schedule and hierarchy documentation
- Restricted keyways to control duplication
- Panic hardware and egress compliance checks
- Storefront and aluminium door hardware repair
- Rekeying after staff change, without rebuilding the system
- Scheduled maintenance for multi-door premises
- After-hours attendance to avoid trading disruption
How a call runs
From request to a tested lock
Four steps, in this order, every time.
Survey and brief
We walk the premises and record every door, its use, who needs through it, and any egress or fire requirement attached to it.
Design the hierarchy
Levels are defined and each cylinder is mapped to one. You receive a written schedule showing who holds what and why.
Fit and integrate
Cylinders, exit devices and access control are installed or rekeyed to the plan, outside trading hours wherever possible.
Document and maintain
The schedule is updated as your building changes, so a future rekey affects one level rather than every lock on site.
