Golden Key Locksmith NYC builds tiered key systems that let one master key open every door while individual employees, tenants, or units only access the doors they’re assigned to — useful for property managers, building supers, hospitality operators, retail chains, and offices with mixed-access space.
We design the matrix, supply the cylinders (including high-security Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and ASSA Abloy), can rekey existing locks into a new system without replacing hardware, and maintain the keying records so re-keys after staff turnover are fast. Call (212) 204-1655.
A master key system is a great way to increase security for your business. But how does it work?
Basically, a master key system is made up of two different types of keys – the change key and the master key. The change key will only open one specific lock, while the master key can open that lock and several others in a group.
This is possible because in these locks, a few of the pin pairs are separated by a third pin. This third pin is called a master wafer or spacer.
There are many benefits to having a master key system in place for your business.
not sure whether or not a master key system is right for you? here are a few reasons why you might want to consider one:
– If you have multiple locations or franchises and need to maintain uniformity across them all
– If you want more control over who has access to certain areas or materials
– If you need to give different employees access to different areas
– If you want to be able to easily add or remove keys from the system as needed

Steve was my savior - my heavy kryptonite bike lock was blocked and locked to a gate. He was there within 15 minutes with his tool to open the lock and did a quick and neat job.

A master key system allows different keys to open different combinations of locks within a hierarchy. A master key opens all locks; change keys open only specific locks (e.g., one employee's office). Grand master and great grand master levels can be added for large buildings. The system is created by setting unique pin combinations in each lock cylinder. Golden Key Locksmith NYC designs and installs custom master key systems for buildings, offices, and multi-unit properties throughout NYC.
Master key systems can have multiple levels: change key (single lock), master key (group of locks), grand master key (multiple groups), and great grand master key (entire facility). The number of practical levels depends on the lock brand and keyway — most commercial systems support 3–4 levels without compromising security. We design systems that balance convenience with security for your specific property layout.
In many cases yes — if your existing locks are a compatible brand and in good condition, they can be re-pinned to fit into a new master key system. Mixed brands usually require replacing the cylinders or the locks entirely. We conduct a free on-site assessment, inventory your existing hardware, and design a system that maximizes reuse while meeting your security requirements.
