Master Key Systems

Professional Master Key Systems in Amarillo, TX

Frog’s Safe & Key designs master key systems that cut key clutter and raise control. We map doors, set access levels, and align keys with roles. Your team carries less metal, and your managers gain a clear record. We understand that Amarillo sites see steady traffic and wide swings in wind and dust. As a result, hardware needs a plan that stays stable in those conditions. We pin cylinders, tune doors, and verify a clean latch before we hand over keys.

How a Master Key System Works

Our master key systems set up a successful key chain to grant everyone on your team access the way you want.

A master key system sets who opens what. Daily users carry a change key. Supervisors have a higher key that opens a group. Owners carry a top key that opens the whole plan.

Access levels we build:

• Change key: One lock or a small group
• Submaster key: A department, wing, or floor
• Master key: A building or zone under one owner
• Grand master key: Multiple buildings on one campus
• Great grand master key: Several sites under one account

A grocery store in Amarillo can use change keys for cash offices and stock doors. A clinic can give nurses a submaster key and the practice manager a master key. A school can keep a grand master for district staff and change classroom keys.

IC Core Rekeying Inside Your Plan

Interchangeable cores let us reset access in minutes. A control key releases the core, then a new core slides in. The lock stays on the door, and the opening stays in service.

This matters after turnover and lost keys. A warehouse adds a new shift and needs new keys. We swap cores on the dock doors and hand over a fresh set. The same approach fits padlocks that accept cores on gates and yards.

Design, Pinning, and On-Door Tests

We start with a door list and a short discovery. We set change key groups and assign submasters and masters that match your routes. Cylinders are pinned to the map, and keys are labeled and stamped to the plan.

Every opening gets a field test. We turn the change key. We turn the higher keys. We set closer speeds and align the strike so the latch lands without force. Your doors close cleanly, and your keys work on the first try.

Restricted Keyways and Duplication Control

Unauthorized copies create risk. We support restricted keyways such as ASSA Abloy Twin 6000 and MX Alpha. Keys are issued under written authorization, and each cut enters a permanent log.

A clean log speeds audits and keeps counts stable. The record ties keys to people and levels. Managers see who holds access and where that key works.

What you receive:

• A door map with change keys, submasters, and master levels
• Labeled keys and cores, plus a duplication log and signer list

Hardware We Support Every Week

We service Schlage, Sargent, and other common commercial lines, including knobs, levers, mortise cases, and rim cylinders. We also align door closers and continuous hinges on heavy entries so keys turn and latches catch.

Padlocks can join the plan when the model supports door-system cylinders or IC cores. Gates then follow the same rules as the main door. Your crews keep one ring and move without delay.

Put Your Keys on a Plan That Works

Send us a simple door list and the roles that need access, or have us come out to discuss your needs. Frog’s Safe & Key will map levels, pin cylinders, install IC cores where needed, and test each opening with you. You will leave with clear records, clean keys, and a system that scales with your property.
