Key Components of a Master Key System
There are two main components of a master key system:
- Master Key: This key can open all the locks in the system, providing comprehensive access to authorised personnel, such as building managers or security officers.
- Change Keys: These are individual keys that only open specific locks. For example, an employee might have a change key that only opens the door to their office but not others.
Who Needs a Commercial Master Locksmith?
Master rekeying is beneficial for businesses that need to maintain strict control over who can access different areas of the property while still allowing certain individuals broader access. It may be beneficial in the following situations:
Security
Breach
If there has been a break-in, attempted burglary, or any security breach, master rekeying can help restore the security of your business.
Tenant
Change
For property management companies, rekeying between tenants ensures that previous occupants cannot access the property.
Change in Ownership or Management
New owners or managers may need to rekey the premises to establish new access control.
Routine Security Maintenance
Some businesses rekey periodically as part of their overall security strategy to minimise risks associated with long-term key access
Benefits of Master Rekeying
Enhanced Security
Master rekeying allows you to update your locks quickly and efficiently if there’s a security concern, such as a lost or stolen key. This ensures that unauthorised individuals cannot access your property.
Convenience & Efficiency
Instead of replacing all the locks, master rekeying allows you to change the keying mechanism within the existing locks. This can be a much more convenient solution for enhancing security or adjusting access controls.
Improved Access
Control
Master rekeying can customise access levels across different areas of your property. You can determine who has access without changing the physical locks.
Streamlined Key
Management
Master rekeying can reduce the number of keys needed by integrating more locks into a master key system. This makes key management easier for keyholders.
Quick Response to Security Threats
If there’s a security breach or an employee leaves the company, master rekeying allows you to quickly reconfigure the locks without disrupting the entire lock system.

FAQS
What is commercial master rekeying?
Commercial master rekeying involves changing the internal keying of existing locks so old keys no longer work and new access levels can be created. It can also be used to organise multiple locks under a master key system.
When should a business consider master rekeying?
Master rekeying is useful after staff changes, lost keys, tenant changes, security concerns or changes in management. It is also a practical option if your current key system has become difficult to control.
Can master rekeying improve access control?
Yes. Master rekeying allows different keys to open different areas of your premises, while selected keyholders can have broader access. This helps you control who can enter offices, storage rooms, staff areas and restricted spaces.
Is rekeying more cost-effective than replacing locks?
In many cases, yes. If your existing locks are still in good condition, rekeying can update access without the cost and disruption of replacing every lock.
Can you rekey restricted keys?
Yes. Western Lock Services can assist with restricted key rekeying, helping prevent unauthorised key copying and giving your business stronger control over key distribution.
