Master Key System in Palo Alto should be simple: one call, a fast arrival, and a job done properly. That is how Bay Area Lock And Key works every day, serving Palo Alto homes, businesses and drivers with mobile, on-site service.
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.
Why Palo Alto Chooses Bay Area Lock And Key for Master Key System
Palo Alto customers choose us because we combine big-company reliability with local, personal service. Every technician is licensed, bonded and insured, arrives in a marked, fully-stocked van, and treats your property with care. We quote before we work, we finish in one visit whenever we can, and we stand behind everything we do.
Good master keying is about control, not just convenience. We chart the system so access levels are clear and expandable, use quality cylinders, and can build in restricted keyways that prevent unauthorized key copying. As your organization changes, we rekey and extend the system so it keeps matching who should go where.
