Restricted Keyways

No matter how many security levels your provide for your business there is one primary risk that can compromise even the best master security plan…  a copy of your master key.    Right now you might say, “I have control of my keys because it has ‘Do Not Copy’ stamped on them.”   Unfortunately, “Do Not Copy” is just a polite request and does not prohibit copying.

For real peace of mind you need to consider purchasing a high security locking system (with restricted keyway) for your  business.    A restricted key can only be duplicated by the issuing vendor and you control the owner’s key order card.   When you request a duplicate key the locksmith should validate  the signature on the card and validate the identity of the person ordering the key from a signed photo identification.   There are variations and security levels of this process, but the basic technique is usually the same.

Our trained security consultants can explain all of your options and help you decide of the level of security you wish to achieve.

High Security Locks vs Normal Locks

Why should you choose High Security locks for your home or office? Because High Security locks offer you peace of mind through key control and increased protection.

Every High Security lock system installed by Allied Fire & Security can give you a patented keyway that is protected and cannot be duplicated by unauthorized people. Allied registers every restricted key system made in our lockshops with signatures and letters of authorization from system owners. Only the people you have designated are approved to duplicate your keys.
