MAKE KEYING DECISIONS EARLY TO PREVENT KEYING NIGHTMARES<\/h2>\n

We design, install and maintain complex Master Key Systems for Chicagoland facilities.<\/p>\n

Multi-level key systems, which control and restrict access to offices, classrooms, IT rooms and all other designated areas within buildings, are created from architectural drawings and from physical walk-throughs to determine the scope of a project. It is essential that there is a keying plan, and that cylinders are keyed, then marked with door names or numbers, well ahead of the construction completion date, to avoid last minute \u201ckeying nightmares.\u201d<\/p>\n

After an initial keying meeting is held with building owners and \/ or property managers, a unique, color-coded schematic, labeled to indicate the Grand Master Key, Master Keys, Sub-Masters and Individual Keys is created. Once this keying plan is approved, key codes are recorded, cylinders keyed, and keys cut.<\/p>\n
