A master key system can give designated people access across selected doors while staff keys remain limited to approved areas. Good planning starts with a door list, who needs access, and which locks must remain separate. Existing hardware and future changes should be considered before a system is specified.
Useful details
- Map doors and access roles before selecting a hierarchy.
- Keep a current key and authorization record.
- Compatibility and future expansion depend on chosen hardware.
