For Master Key System in Hayward, Hayward residents and businesses turn to Bay Area Lock And Key. Our mobile technicians reach you quickly, carry the tools to finish most jobs on the spot, and quote a clear price before any work begins.

A master key system lets one key open many doors while each individual key opens only its own — so a manager or owner carries a single master while staff access only their areas. We design and install master, grand-master and sub-master systems for businesses, apartment buildings and institutions, mapping keys to your exact access needs.
