Kardo Locksmith had an office rekey project in Culver City CA.  The business manager called for an office rekey with an updated master key system since they had some new employees.  We responded to their request for a locksmith Culver City and scheduled a convenient appointment time as the business owner was looking for a commercial locksmith.  We were able to completely rekey the offices and provided them with an updated master key system for their office location. Security should be a top priority when you're a business owner. You should have full access to every entry point in your building. A master key system offers tiered access to the locks in your company. While a master key system gives you and other authorized personnel the necessary access to all entry points, it can also pose a security risk if implemented incorrectly. Your master key must be limited to only those who need it, must not be duplicated, and should match other secure key control practices such as serial numbering, user-rekeyable locks, and key tracking. Here are the best things to practice with your master key system. Reduce master key holders One of the best things to do across all lock systems is to reduce the number of people who have keys to only those who need individual access to specific entry points. Consider how you can group access to single locations, specific entry points, or  organizational groups to reduce the cases of a single master key having total access across your organization. When building a master key system, think about how you can limit master key holders to only the right people while granting more specific and restricted access to other key holders. Be prepared for lost master keys Losing a master key is a major security risk that needs to be addressed quickly to make sure no security breaches are made. If a master key is lost, a quick response is even more vital because you have to change the key on every entry point associated with that master key, which comes with a high price. The best thing to have are rekeyable locks so you can steer clear of pricey lock replacements. Restricted master key system A key component of a secure master key system is the use of keys that cannot be duplicated without permission. Restricted key blacks are not available on the open market, so if your master keys are restricted, it cannot be copied by your local hardware store or locksmith and it can only be duplicated with authorization given to your key provider. If you are not using restricted master keys, you open your business to security threats and have little control over how to deal with those threats. Key tracking software Keeping track of keys in your organization can be tedious or easy depending on the approach. While a paper trail or spreadsheet may work for smaller businesses with fewer keys to track, larger businesses with multiple key holders and levels of access need more comprehensive key tracking capabilities. A cloud-based tracking software is the best way to track your keys. Audit your keys regularly Regular key audits give you a clear picture of who owns which keys, which is important for master keys. If you have multiple master key holders, performing regular audits will help you feel comfortable knowing that no master key has been lost and that high-level access is limited to those who need it. If your key holders cannot account for all keys, it is recommended to rekey the affected locks. When you need key and lock services for your business, turn to the experienced team at Kardo Locksmith.
