What Is A Master Key System?
Many businesses are looking a security system that meets their security needs and one common choice is the Master Key System, which offers some great benefits but also have few drawbacks.
To help business owners making the right choice, here is a clear explanation of how this system works and the key factors to consider before using it.
Basically a master key system can be described when one key called a master key can open multiple/all doors. Many businesses have different security level locked areas, like entrances, offices and server rooms. A master key system may seem like an easy solution, but not always the best option for everyone.
Pros
There is no doubt that carrying just one key instead of a heavy, noisy keychain with bunch of keys is a big advantage and anyone who has dealt with multiple keys knows the struggle searching for the right key.
When multiple keys are held together and rub against each other, over time they will wear down and become useless, when using just one key this problem is not an issue anymore.
Master key system is the best solution for situations like when you forget your office key at home or if you accidentally lock one of the other rooms in your business and cant find the key, with the master key you can quickly unlock the door and enter.
Cons
A master key can be a security risk for a business because if it gets stolen, the thief would have access to the entire building, including all the entrances, all offices and all other rooms.
If a master key gets lost, you business is compromised because you just lost access to the entire building and all the rooms inside until a new master key is made and all the door were rekeyed.
