Master Key & Restricted Key Systems for St Kilda homes and businesses

A master key system gives each holder access to exactly what they need and gives you a single key that opens everything. A restricted system adds the part most businesses actually need: the key blank is patented, so copies can only be cut by us, only for a person on your authorised signatory list. Together they stop the slow leak of keys that every organisation suffers.

Why St Kilda in particular

Common-property entry doors on these blocks have usually been rekeyed piecemeal over decades, so the key a resident holds and the key the building thinks is current are frequently not the same thing. The period housing here was built with mortice locks, and a century of trades has left a mix of original hardware, 1970s additions and whatever was cheapest in between. Working out what is actually fitted comes before deciding what to fit.

Getting to you

Working from the Richmond base, St Kilda is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.

Our coverage of St Kilda 3182 runs from Beaconsfield Parade, Brighton Road and Canterbury Road across to Acland Court and Albert Park.

What the job covers

  • Master and grand-master hierarchies
  • Sub-master keying by department or floor
  • Patented restricted key blanks
  • Authorised signatory register
  • Key issue and return tracking
  • System design for staged rollout
  • Expansion of an existing system

What it costs

We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in St Kilda and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same number. Quotes are free, given before we start, and there is no obligation.

We had eleven different keys for nine doors and no idea who held what. Now one key for me and a limited key per person.

Designed it so we can add the second floor later without recutting everything. Worth the extra thought at the start.
Anton M.Cremorne
The restricted blanks are the part that actually solved it. Nobody can quietly cut a copy at a kiosk any more.

Master Key & Restricted Key Systems in St Kilda — common questions

How quickly can you get to St Kilda for master key & restricted key systems?

30 minutes is the target. Working from the Richmond base, St Kilda is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.

How is this different from just keying everything alike?

Key alike gives everyone the same access. A master system gives each person a key that opens only their doors, while your master opens all of them. That difference is the whole point once you have more than a couple of staff.

What stops a staff member cutting a copy at the shops?

The restricted blank. It is patented and not sold to general key cutters, so a copy can only be made by us and only for someone on your signatory list. That is the control a standard key cannot give you.

Can we start small and grow it?

Yes, and you should. A system designed with expansion in mind lets you add doors, floors or a second site later without recutting everything. Designing it properly at the start is the difference.
