Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a master key system cost in Fort Worth?
A basic 10-cylinder system using Schlage Everest C123 keyway runs $850-$1,400 including pinning labor, key blanks, and the bitting schedule PDF. A restricted Medeco BiLevel or Mul-T-Lock MT5+ system runs $2,500-$5,000+ for the same size because the cylinders cost 3-5x more and the keys cannot be copied at Home Depot.
What is the difference between master, grand master, and great grand master?
A master opens every lock in one building. A grand master opens every lock in multiple buildings within a property. A great-grand-master opens every lock across an entire portfolio (a property management firm with 12 buildings). Each level requires a stricter pinning plan to avoid cross-keying — non-trivial above 100 cylinders.
Can master keys be copied at Home Depot?
Standard Schlage C, Kwikset KW1, and Yale Y1 keyways — yes, freely. Restricted keyways (Schlage Everest 29-S, Medeco High Security, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Abloy Protec2) require either a signed authorization card on file at the issuing locksmith or factory-only duplication. We recommend restricted keyways for any system protecting cash, drugs, or HR records.
How long does it take to install a master key system?
Design phase (bitting schedule, cylinder spec, keyway selection) is 1-3 business days. Hardware procurement is 1-2 weeks for stock keyways, 3-6 weeks for restricted. Install is typically 1-2 days on site for a 20-50 cylinder system. We deliver the full bitting schedule as a sealed PDF you keep in your safe.
