Designed around your building

We start with a walkthrough and a simple access chart: who needs which doors. Then we design the keying, rekey or replace cylinders, cut and stamp every key, and hand you a clear record of the system.

Why businesses switch to master keys

Fewer keys, tighter control and cheaper changes when staff turn over.

Carry one key

Managers open every area they're responsible for with a single key.

Limit staff access

Each person only opens the doors they need.

Restricted keys

Patented keyways stop unauthorized copies at hardware stores.

Cheaper changes

Rekey one level instead of the whole building when someone leaves.

Clear records

Know exactly who holds which key.

Grows with you

Add doors or buildings to the same system later.

How a master key system works

Every key is cut for a level of access, so each person only opens the doors they need.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ran into an unexpected issue on my vacant listing in Indian Trail, and Ted was a lifesaver! The batteries died to a smart lock, and we could not get into the home. I called Ted and within an hour he had a new set of keys made… problem solved! He was very responsive and professional and helped me avoid having the buyers get locked out of the house on closing day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The locksmith was able to set up an appointment shortly after I called to re-key several keys in my house. He was very cordial; the work was done promptly and at a fair price. Would recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed doors re-keyed and a keyless entry lock installed.  When scheduling service, Teddy advised me of the type of keyless system I would need (to ensure compatibility with my existing locks).  Who knew that was a thing?!  Teddy came the next morning for service and he also made sure I knew how to use my new keyless system.  He was professional, punctual, and reasonably priced.  I wish there were more stars to give him!
