The Importance of Master Key System in FactoriesDecember 5, 2016

This allows different individual key holders and groups of people to gain access to specific areas, or even all areas of a building. Basically, a master keyed lock can be opened with a designated key, or using a master key. In this way, locks can be re-keyed with a new designated key, but the master key will not need to be replaced.
