The owner opens everything with one key; each employee's key opens only what their job needs. That's a master key system: designed on paper first, then pinned into your existing locks, anywhere in our Ventura County coverage area.
A master key system is an access chart made physical. Every cylinder is pinned so its own change key opens it, sub-masters open their group (front of house, offices, storage) and the owner's master opens everything. "Who can open what" stops being folklore about which keys got copied over the years and becomes a documented, deliberate design.
The process starts on paper for a reason. A short walkthrough maps your doors, your people, and your growth plans; the key chart is designed with spare capacity (the doors you'll add, the manager you'll eventually hire) and then the cylinders are pinned to the chart, usually into your existing commercial hardware without replacement. Skipping the paper step is how ad-hoc systems end up with ghost keys nobody can account for.
Pricing follows the same logic: a firm written all-inclusive total after the walkthrough, approved by you before any work starts, because door count and access levels vary too much for one honest published number. Day-to-day rekeys inside an existing system stay at the published commercial rekeying range.
Ventura County walkthroughs cover the whole county, from Oxnard operations to Thousand Oaks offices. The design conversation happens at your doors, where the access decisions are real.
