Installation of Restricted Security Keys
Changing from standard keys to restricted “Do Not Copy” keys is a simple process we do to make your locks compatible with security keys.
If you have reasonable quality locks installed, the installation process is quicker and does not requires a change of lock hardware.
If you have locks that are low quality or are non-compatible, the only option is to upgrade the locks or cylinders to accommodate the new security key.
We have a large range of cylinders that suit the majority of Australian locks.
The process is quite simple, the locks are removed from the door, in some cases only the lock cylinder is removed.
Once the cylinder is removed our locksmiths then install lock parts into the lock cylinder that can accommodate the security key and assemble the lock cylinder to the new security key.
This is now the time that the master keying is done. Master keying is a term that is giving to locks that use different keys.

Once we have rebuilt your lock cylinders and installed compatible locks, our locksmiths then re install all the lock part to the door.

If you issue a key to a casual employee and it’s not restricted, there is nothing stopping that employee from having a $3 key cut and returning to the shop or business another time. We place a lot of trust in employee of any business or office.
By having security keys installed you remove the risk of keys being duplicated, If you were to receive a key back, you can rest assured that there has been no further keys duplicated and no security breach.
Most employees do not know the difference between the two types of keys, It is standard practice that any business that issues keys to staff issue restricted keys.

If you receive the same key back from a staff member that has left or is leaving, you can rest assured that is the only key in their procession.
