Benn Lock and Safe are able to build master keyed systems for our customers businesses or homes in the Cambridgeshire area. Master keyed suites of locks are often fitted to large business buildings such as offices, colleges and industrial plants, but these locking systems can also be fitted to houses that have lots of doors. A master key system is a group or suite of locks. The suite may comprise a few locks or there could be several hundred doors to secure, say in a college or university. The locks could be a mixture of different types – old style ‘Yale’ type locks, mortice locks, Euro locks, padlocks etc.

Understanding master key systems (MKS):
Simply, a MKS is a set of locks where all the locks have a different key but a special ‘master’ key will also open them all. A single key opens them all. Single-key locking solutions provider Mul-T-Lock offers a wide range of master key solutions to address the varying needs of different business and home sectors and their unique environments.
Here is what you will get when you change your locks to our MKS.

High security protection – keys are mastered to provide each user with access to authorised areas only – increased access control – reduced number of keys in circulation.
Security and master key systems offer control over the movement of people within a building to provide security and accessibility to the building manager and for their tenants, occupiers and other key-holders. Systems design can be either on an open section key or on a restricted security key that are registered to avoid the unauthorised copying of keys. Most UK locks can be changed to take Mul-T-Lock cylinders such as:-
- Euro cylinders
- GB oval and Scandinavian cylinder
- Old fashioned rim cylinders
- Padlocks and even
- Small cabinet cam locks.
As master locksmiths, Benn Lock and Safe recommend using a restricted security key system because this provides the best all round security.
Although very small, keys play a large part in the overall security of your company or home. Keys give us access to facilities, entire buildings, equipment, machinery, vehicles, and secure areas. The management of keys is an essential task within all commercial operations. Secure key management supports the smooth operation of any business organisation.
Though an increasing number of companies are upgrading to electronic access control systems, many facilities still rely on traditional keys. An extensive survey of building security concluded that while electronic locking systems will grow at a small rate every year, physical locks and locking will remain the dominant method in use for the foreseeable future. Benn Lock and Safe have found this to be true. We are very aware of the new smart electronics but we find poor design at the cheaper end of the market is providing insecure and unreliable products and high costs on the better designed and more secure products are a drag on their acceptance and take-up. It seems the secure standard physical lock is still relied upon and proves to be extremely reliable. We only have to look back though time and notice thousands of our locks are still in use forty years later

Budget Master Key Cylinder Suite
The Mul-T-Lock Integrator range has a varied selection of cylinders and padlocks, appropriate for use in smaller master suite systems. We often recommend the Integrator platform for keying alike, creating one that key operates in different locks in the home. This could also be used for commercial premises, or just as a one-off security cylinder
A master key system is a specially designed suite of cylinders configured so that each lock is not only controlled by an individual key, but also by an overall ‘master key’. These locks can be made to all be different or keyed alike in groups depending on preference. For example – to save on key costs front and rear doors could be keyed alike. This is ideal for landlords with HMO’s (Houses in Multiple Occupation) but also suitable for all types of commercial, public or domestic buildings – private homes.
Benn Lock and Safe recently had a request from an HMO landlord who requested that the keys should be restricted in order to prevent any keys being obtained by unauthorised persons. He had found keys were being made on the High Street which were duplicates and that further copies were being made from the copies. Eventually these copy keys failed in the cylinder and caused and expensive emergency. No one likes being locked out of their homes and tenants are no exception. Most fail to realise copies of copies of copies eventually result is a visit from the emergency locksmith.
A new suite of cylinders was designed. This landlord also needed to change some of the cylinders to incorporate internal ‘thumb-turn cylinders so it would be quicker and safer to lock and unlock room doors from the inside with the thumb-turn. We recommended and built a Mul-T-Lock Integrator system.
As a result, the HMO landlord gained convenience by reducing their bag of keys to a single key and achieved a secure system that gave them the control and flexibility to add more properties to their portfolio.
