• Prepared by Sean Dowie

Keyed Alike

• A group of padlocks/cylinders are all operated by
  one key.
• This key profile can be allocated a code and
  future key and padlock/cylinder orders can be
  placed against this code.

Master Key Installations

• A group of cylinders or padlocks are each
  equipped with an individual key and are also
  operated by one special key known as a Master Key
  (MK).

4
Grand Master Key Installations

• A Grand Master Key is used when it is necessary
  to have more than one Master Key group in the
  same building complex.
• In these instances all cylinders, irrespective of
  their Master Key group, are controlled by one key
  known as the Grand Master Key (GMK).

5
Construction Master Key (CISA only)

• The Construction Master Key is designed to enable
  the contractors to operate all cylinders
  belonging to the system with a temporary Master
  Key known as a Construction Master Key.
• This maintains the integrity and security of the
  original keys delivered directly to the owners as
  the Construction Master Key will be deactivated
  when the owners keys are used.

6
Lockout Master Key System (CISA only)

• When a master key is lost or stolen, the Lockout
  Master Key enables the owner to operate all
  cylinders belonging to a system with the lockout
  master Key thereby locking out the original
  master key. Tenants are not affected.
• The security of the enterprise is not compromised
  and expensive re-keying of all cylinders is
  avoided.

7
Restricted Keyways (CISA only)

• Restricted keyways prevent duplication of keys at
  local key cutting outlets thereby increasing the
  level of security offered.
• New keys must be cut at Austens Lock and with
  authorisation of nominated person at client.
