Master key systems for buildings and businesses
Bee Locksmith designs, installs and maintains master key systems for buildings, property management companies and multi-location businesses in New York City and the tri-state area. We plan the key hierarchy, pin the cylinders in-house, document who holds which key, and keep after-hours calls from breaking the system.
What we do
- Key hierarchy planning: grand master, master, change keys
- Restricted keyways where the building wants key control
- Cylinders pinned in-house and installed on site
- Key records kept so every future cut matches
- Additions and changes as tenants, suites and stores change

Master-key discipline
The fastest way to ruin a master key system is a night call that leaves a random cylinder behind. Our technicians work to the system on record, every time.
Frequently asked questions
What is a master key system?
A set of keys where one key opens many locks and individual keys open only their own, planned so the building controls access.
Can you add a new door to our existing system?
Usually yes, if we have or can establish the system's records.
Can keys be restricted so they can't be copied?
Yes. Restricted and high-security keyways limit duplication to authorized orders.
Can one system cover several locations?
Yes. We plan systems that span multiple buildings or stores.
