New Key System

NEW KEY SYSTEM – 1 KEY FITS ALL

NEW KEY SYSTEM – 1 KEY FITS ALL

LOCKS KEYED ALIKE – One Key to fit all your locks at back, front and/or side doors. Locks can also be keyed alike for adjoining offices/outbuildings or for your business

 ADVANTAGES  ARE:

  • REDUCES the need for several keys which makes your key system MORE ECONOMICAL and efficient.  It is more economical in that it reduces the need to get keys cut for various doors for other family members or tenants or visitors.
  • Great system for  LANDLORDS where all external doors operate from the one key
  • More USER FRIENDLY for everyone in particular for children and the elderly because one key is all they need to get into the house- helps avoid confusion and mix ups with keys.
  • BED & BREAKFASTS  would benefit from the above but more so from a MASTER KEY system see Master key Systems under the Business Link
