3 tips to make your life easier when it comes to security
Security, savings and convenience are all possible with a master key system. The old habit of carrying a bunch of keys in your pockets or handbag can become a thing of the past thanks to this security system, which allows you to use a single key for all the standard locks in your housing development, detached house, business or residents’ association.
Entrance doors, garages, swimming pools, storage rooms, fuse boxes and children’s play areas, amongst other places… There are many access points we encounter every day around our homes, and there are many different keys to open them. That is why doing away with bunches of keys reduces the risk of losing them and increases levels of convenience and security in our surroundings.
In our daily lives, we try to make life easier by investing in technology, which brings us greater savings and greater security. Why not do the same for our doors and access points?
Furthermore, installing a master key system in your home helps save on the cost of key copies and provides convenience for the building’s maintenance staff and for you.
Three tips to make your day-to-day security routine easier:
| 1. At the next residents’ meeting, explain the benefits of a master key system so that everyone is aware of them. |
| 2. Ask your trusted locksmith for a quote to upgrade your security system. |
| 3. Take the plunge and don’t hesitate – get your keys programmed. |
SAFETY
Key master keying is also synonymous with security, as it reduces the number of keys we need to keep track of, thereby reducing the responsibility involved in carrying and safeguarding them.
Furthermore, master keying the keys to the various areas within the communal spaces of housing estates and residential complexes will allow for greater control over access to these areas.
COMFORT
Master keying means we can say goodbye to those old bunches of keys that weigh down our bags and rucksacks and also risk tearing our pockets.
The master key system is designed to make life easier, as it drastically reduces the number of keys we need in our daily lives and also makes the job easier for property maintenance staff.
SAVINGS
What’s more, having our everyday keys master-keyed means that a single key can open all the doors, so we won’t have to spend time making multiple copies; with just one key, we’ll have everything sorted and, consequently, access to all the communal areas and facilities in our block.
EASY INSTALLATION
Sometimes we are daunted by the unknown; it’s easy to think that setting up a master key system will take a long time and be a tedious task, but in fact, it’s very straightforward to install. You just need to find the right professionals to tailor your locking system and set up the master key system so that all your keys can be reduced to a single one.
¿Cómo funciona un amaestramiento?
It is important to understand exactly what a master key system involves and to be fully confident about how it works before installing it.
A key that opens my block entrance and my front door? This is where the first concern arises, because it is easy to think that if one key opens several communal doors and the door to my own home, any neighbour could gain access to my front door. This is not the case, as your key will be configured differently from your neighbours’, so that only you can open your own doors.
Another question that may come to mind is whether, if a key is lost, all the locks that key could open will need to be changed. If the master key system has been properly planned, it will only be necessary to change the locks that key could open. Furthermore, there is an option within master key systems where keys of different levels are prepared for installations where keys may be lost, so that if a key is lost, using a new one renders the old one unusable.
Therefore, we can see that it is important to have experts who can plan our master key system effectively.
