Military rental rekey, vacation rental smart-lock service, and aging-cottage hardware replacement are the daily call mix.. Coronado hotels, Del Mar resorts, and Imperial Beach retail, master-key systems and electronic access control are standard asks.
What is a master-key system?
A pin configuration that allows one master key to open every lock while each user has a change key that opens only their specific door(s). Useful for offices (owner has master; employees have their own), medical practices (all-access for manager, limited access for staff), and apartment buildings (property manager has master).
Restricted vs. unrestricted keyways, which do I need?
Restricted (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy) means no one can cut a duplicate key without our written authorization. Unrestricted (Kwikset, Schlage) means anyone can walk into Home Depot and cut a copy. For small offices with low turnover, unrestricted is fine. For medical, legal, or high-turnover businesses, go restricted.
