Master Locksmith was voted “Best Locksmith In St. Louis” by a third-party review site- Expertise.
A master key system is a key plan whereby selected keys can open a number of pre-defined doors. … These keys work with different types of lock, e.g. door locks, cabinet locks, padlocks, etc., as long as the cylinder inside them is of the same model.
The majority of Master Key Systems work on a Pin Tumbler Lock. A simple rundown of how a standard pin tumbler lock works: A pin stack consisting of a driver pin and a key pin must be elevated such that they rest on opposite sides of the shear line to open a lock. Within a lock, a key lifts key pins. These key pins come in a variety of sizes. The driving pins will be available in a variety of sizes. As a result, the key must have the proper grooves to lift the key pins to the proper height.
It’s an oversimplification, but if you’re in St. Louis or St. Charles and want to learn more about the details, we’re happy to help. It will be easier to comprehend the addition of a Master Key System if you have that understanding. All that is required to convert any ordinary Pin Tumbler to a Master Key System is the addition of a Master Wafer (also known as a Master Pin) between the driver and the key pin. A Master Wafer is essentially a microscopic pin in the shape of a hockey puck. The pin stack will have two shear lines once it is in position. A pin stack shear line with a master wafer below or above the line.
