Why is a key management system beneficial to Locksmiths?
A Key Management System is the key to your client’s security. While many commercial buildings are using electronic key passes, electronics have been known to fail.
A key management system relies on traditional keys and ensures access to the right people in the right places. When we think about systems, we think about a logical set of steps to take, and in many respects, key management is precisely that.
The benefits to commercial premises, education facilities or HMOs are clear. The key management system means that the correct key can be located with ease.
When implementing a key management system for your customers, as a locksmith, you must make sure that they understand the concept. Since master key systems are so simple - it makes the job easy. This can be even more important for time pressure emergency locksmith jobs.
What makes the key management system even more beneficial to all is that it allows easy maintenance of hardware and changing or additional locks.
Another benefit to a key management system is that only a few elements make the system work.
- A logical keying design, mapping the desired level of security for each area.
- A simple permissions policy that is related to who holds the master keys.
- Key tracking to have accurate records of keyholders.
- Correct storage of backups and duplicates (where allowed).
The Importance of a Master Key System
When looking for the most important and beneficial key system, the Master Key System is the first choice. A Master Key System is a strategic key plan that can be used for residential or commercial properties and is one of the most cost-effective ways to save on key replacement.
The Master Key System can be designed to the needs of the locksmith and their clients and can offer simplicity too.
How can Locksmiths take advantage of a Master Key System?
Your clients expect the best from your services, and a master keying system can help you achieve that. The benefits for the customers are plentiful. Your locksmith service will offer the following to your clients:
- Security of the keys
- More control over who can have a copy of the keys
- An MKS offers high-security protection
When you consider using a master key system, you need to know that it makes a difference in security. Master keys are on what is referred to as a restricted keyway. A regular key cutter is not able to make copies of the key set.
Instead, a master key requires the owner to show authorisation, perhaps in the form of a certificate to the key cutter, or order more keys directly from the locksmith who fitted that master key system.
Using a Master Key System not only saves you time when installing a new system, but you are also giving your client the most secure option on the market.
