Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a restricted key system different from a standard one?
A restricted key system uses patented key profiles and unique lock barrels that prevent unauthorised duplication. Keys can only be copied by authorised locksmiths who manage the system, ensuring full control over who can access specific areas.
This adds an extra layer of protection against lost keys, theft or internal misuse.
Who can request a copy of a restricted key?
Only authorised signatories registered to the restricted key system can request duplicates. Each request is verified and logged before the key is produced.
This process eliminates the risk of unapproved copies and keeps a clear record of all issued keys, which is especially important for commercial, government and multi-tenant properties.
How often should a restricted system be reviewed or updated?
It’s recommended to review restricted systems every 12 to 24 months, or whenever there’s a staff change, lost key or expansion to the property. Regular reviews ensure your access hierarchy stays current, reducing the risk of outdated permissions and ensuring compliance with modern security standards.
