Why you need a master key

Why you need master key?

Well, you know about the term "Master Key". It is a key that opens all of

your locks. But, this definition quite simple and yes, it is both correct and

incorrect. How? Let’s find out.

For example, you have 10 interior doors and all of the locks are keyed alike.

This means your one key will open all of the 10 locks. Isn’t it? Hence,

according to the first definition, this key is a "Master Key". And surely this is

not for lock and security purpose. Then what is a master key?

The better definition of master key would be that a key that open all locks

under it and is on the top. Hence, now for the same 10 doors, you have 10

different keys which will open them individually, and are useless for the

other lock. The single keys will not be able to open any other lock except

the one it is made for. However, the master key you have besides the 10

key is able to open all the locks. You can use the master keys to gain access

to an entire property, even if it employs different locks for different areas.

Now, when you are clear with the concept of master keys, here are some

more reasons to illustrate their use in daily life. Have a look:

1. Sorted work: The biggest problem with the keys is that it is hard to

manage them. Especially, when they are more in number. With a

master key you don’t need to fumble through several keys to access

the areas of your commercial or residential property. So, you can sort

out your work just with help of one key

2. Easy and safe access: It simplifies your work, but that’s not the only

benefit. Master key provides you with controlled access. Yes, it allows

only the specified people access to the defined areas of your building.

You property is secured now!

3. Prevents key loss and damage: Lost your key again? This is not new

thing. However, if you have a master key for your building the risk of

keys getting lost, duplicated or stolen over and over again reduced

up to a great extent. The reason being, with help of master key, there

is less circulating of keys, which greatly minimized the chances of

thefts and put a stop to miscreants to gain an unauthorized access.

4. Emergency solution: As stated above, losing keys or getting locked

out is a common situation. But when you have master keys, you don’t

need to worry. They are excellent tools to manage such urgent

situations.

5. Life saver: In case there is a fire in the building and an employee stuck

inside a locked room, the condition gets worse if you misplace the key

or lose it. However, if you have a master key it helps you to save lives

and to protect the important assets. It simply helps to gain access to

the areas much faster.

In all, it adds convenience and allows you to have one key offering access

to the entire property, that too without labeling or carrying those dozens of

keys along.
