What is Master Keying?
Master keying can best be defined as the process of creating tow or more levels of keying to one or more cylinders. Think about a hotel.
Each individual guest room has the key that opens only that room.
A floor maid may have a special master key that opens each room on her floor but no other rooms in the hotel.
And the hotel manager may have a key that allows her to open all of the rooms on every floor of the hotel.
What is Rekey?
Rekeying is the process of changing a lock's tumblers to work on a different key than the current one. Though often referred to as 'changing a lock', rekeying does not require replacement of the lock itself, but resetting the tumbler combination to fit a different key.
Is it possible to have all the locks on my home (or business) keyed to the same key?
Yes, if they are all the same brand or type of locks they can most likely be keyed to match the others. You can check to see if your locks are compatible with each other by checking to see if the key slides inside the key holes of the locks you want keyed. If the key will not go in a key hole you may need
I am moving into a new home/apartment/business, should I rekey or replace the locks even though they are working properly?
Absolutely. This is a matter of safety because you don't know who had the keys before you. This way, you can give people who you can trust a copy of your keys.
