Residential Master Keying

Master keys sound like something for office towers, but more and more homeowners are master keying their houses. It gives you far more say over who can open which doors on your property.

The result is tighter control and fewer keys to carry. Simply The Best Locksmith sets up a master key system that is easy to live with, and that makes it harder for anyone else to get in.

Own more than one property? Master keying is ideal. A single key opens every one of your properties, while each tenant gets a key that opens only their own door. Simple for you, straightforward for them.

Simply The Best Locksmith installs and repairs master key systems in the Lehigh Valley and in Lehigh, Northampton, Montgomery, Berks and Bucks counties. Whether you want master keying for your house or you are locked out of a property you own, we can help.

Who Master Keying Helps

• Landlords with several units: one key for you, a unique key for each tenant
• Duplexes and twins where each side needs its own key
• Homes with in-law suites or rentals inside the house
• Large households that want one key for the family and limited keys for a sitter or contractor

How It Works

Each lock is pinned so two keys open it: the tenant’s or room’s own key, and your master key. Tenants cannot open each other’s doors, and you can open them all.

When a tenant moves out, only their lock needs to be rekeyed. Everyone else’s key keeps working, and so does yours.

Restricted Keys

For rentals, we recommend restricted keyways, which cannot be copied at a hardware store. You control how many keys exist.
