Master Key Systems in Winchester
At Locksmith Winchester, we provide and install Master Key Systems designed for simplicity and security. These include euro cylinders, oval cylinders, rim cylinders, padlocks, and cam locks.
One Key, Complete Control
Imagine managing 200 houses in Winchester with 1,500 rooms — and just one key for the landlord. With a master key system, that’s entirely possible.
Additionally, sub-master and service keys can be created for maintenance teams. This allows access to essential areas without compromising tenant privacy.
Why Choose a Master Key System?
A master key system gives you flexibility and control. One key can open every door in the system, while other keys allow limited access. As a result, it’s an ideal solution for buildings with multiple users.
We have supplied and fitted systems for:
-
Schools
-
Hospitals
-
Colleges and Universities
-
Hotels and Offices
-
Apartment Blocks
-
Factories
-
Private Homes
Types of Master Key Systems
There are three main types, each offering a different level of security and convenience:
-
Open Section Master Keys
These can be duplicated anywhere, like standard keys. -
Protected Section Master Keys
These require proof of ownership and must be duplicated at the original provider. -
Patented Section Master Keys
These offer the highest level of protection. New keys can only be made with legal documentation and specialised equipment.
Free Surveys and Professional Advice
At Winchester Locksmiths, we offer free on-site surveys. This helps us assess your needs and recommend the best course of action. Whether you need to expand your system or replace it entirely, we can help.
In addition, we can supply spare keys for popular systems such as:
-
Chubb (Medeco) M3
-
Kaba pExtra
-
Assa Abloy
-
Union
More often than not, we can cut these keys while you wait — or even provide same-day service if needed.
Why Choose a Local Locksmith?
Many people purchase systems online due to the lower price. However, they often find that aftercare is poor and urgent key replacements take far too long.
In contrast, we keep key blanks in stock and can usually cut replacements on-site. If any locks need repairing, our team can often complete the work the same day or by the next day.
We also build new locks to suit your existing system as needed — saving you time, money, and stress.
