  1. Keys and Key Systems David M. Koenig, CPP

  2. Today’s Topics • Common Keys • Key System Components • Master Keying • High Security Key Systems

  3. Common Keys • Schlage Key Blanks (Most Common in our area)

  4. Common Keys • Other Key Blanks (Residential) Kwikset Weiser Yale

  5. Common Keys • Other Key Blanks (Commercial) Best Sargent

  6. Lots of Different Key Blanks

  7. Sectional Keyways • Sectional Keyways - Variety Of Key Blank Groove Sizes And Shapes • Hierarchal Groups • Higher Level Patterns Fit Into Multiple Keyways • Allows Cut Numbers To Be Repeated

  8. Sectional Keyways

  9. Key System Components • Key Blank • Pins • Springs • Cores • Cylinders • Tailpiece

  10. Key System Components • Tailpiece (Cams) Connects to rear of cylinder, operating rest of lockset

  11. Key System Components • Cores And Cylinders Cylindrical Mortise / Rim Interchangeable (Bored) (In) / (On)

  12. Key System Components • Pin Kit • * Top Pins • * Bottom Pins • * Springs

  13. Key System Components • Key Machine (Duplicator / Code)

  14. Original Keys Key code stamped on key With this number can duplicate key !!

  15. Keys Matched to Pins • Key Cuts Fit Pin Lengths

  16. Master Keying Is... • System Of Organizing Numbers • For Cutting Keys • For Pinning Cores (Locks) • Grouping Of Locks And Keys • Set Of Locks That Are Operated By More Than One Key

  17. Master Keying Provides • Convenience Over Security • Separate Keys For Individual Locks • Keys To Operate Groups Of Locks • Single Key For All Locks In System • Ability To Carry Fewer Keys • Organization Of And Management Of Lock & Key System

  18. Master Keying Disadvantages • Makes Locks Easier To Pick • Small Master Pins Increase Service Issues • Higher Re-keying Cost If GMK Or GGMK Keys Are Lost • Cross Keying potential • Controlled Destruction of Lock Security

  19. Keying Terms • KA - Keyed Alike - Several Locks Operated By The Same Key • KD - Keyed Different - Each Lock Operated By It’s Own Key

  20. Master Keying Terms • CK – Change Key Work Individual Lock • MK - Master Key • Work Single Group of Locks • GMK - Grand Master Key • Work Large Group Of Locks • GGMK - Great Grand Master Key • Fits All Locks In System

  21. Master Key System

  22. Master Keying Terms • SKD - Single Keyed Different • Lock Set To Change Key Only • Common Keying (Maison keying) • Levels - Number Of Different Types Of Keys In System • Example CK-MK = 2 Level System • Example CK-MK-GMK = 3 Level System

  23. System Size and Security • 5 Or 6 Pin Chambers (more is better) • Chamber Depths • Pinning Increment (Key / Pin Wear) • How Many Chambers Are Progressed • Angles (Or Other Factor) Employed

  24. Master Keying Technical • MACS (Maximum Adjacent Cuts) Loss • How Many Masters Employed • Number Of Chambers Used For Master Keys Reduces Maximum And Determines Availability Within a MK

  25. Typical System Example • 8 Depths (1-10 Less One for MK) • Less Increments of Two • Used In 6 Chambers Equals… • 4 To 6th Power Equals… • 4,096 Theoretical Combinations • Less MACS Of 20% • Equals 3,276 Maximum Combinations

  26. Medeco Biaxial System Size • 4 Depths (1-5 Less One Number For GMK) • Used In 6 Chambers Equals… • 4 To 6th Power Equals… • 4,096 Theoretical • Times 9 Sections (Angles) Equals...

  27. Medeco Biaxial System Size • Equals 36,864 Changes Under Single MK • With MACS Loss Of 20% Combinations (Maximum Adjacent Cuts) • Over 29,400 Maximum Combinations

  28. High Security Key Systems • Typical Manufacturers * Medeco * Primus * Assa * Keso * Multi-Lock

  29. High Security Key Systems • What Creates High Security * Restricted Key Blanks - Patent Protection * Contractual Requirements - Key Record Control - Key Machine

  30. High Security Key Systems • What Creates High Security * Physical Characteristics - Angles, Side bars, etc. - Hardened Components

  31. High Security Key Systems • What Does High Security Provide * Key Control * Pick Resistance * Drill Resistance * Bump Resistance

  32. The End Thank You !
