Should You Install a Master Key System at Home in Phoenix, AZ?

When most people think of master key systems, they picture offices, apartment buildings, or hotels. But did you know you can also install one in your Phoenix home?

At Affordable Security Locksmith And Alarm, we create custom keying systems for homeowners who want simple, streamlined access control—without sacrificing security. If you’re curious whether a master key system is right for your house, visit our residential locksmith service page or read on for a full breakdown.


🔐 What Is a Master Key System?

A master key system allows multiple locks to be opened by one master key, while also assigning individual keys that only open specific doors.

Here’s how it works:

  • Change keys: Each lock has its own unique key
  • Master key: Opens all doors within the system

It’s commonly used in large buildings but can also be installed in:

  • Large single-family homes
  • Guest homes or casitas
  • Homes with rental units or attached offices
  • Multi-generational households

✅ Benefits of a Master Key System at Home

1. Simplified Key Management

No more bulky keychains—one key gives you access to all designated doors.


2. Controlled Access

Give family, housekeepers, or renters access only to certain areas while you retain full control.


3. Great for Homeowners with Multiple Entry Points

Ideal if your home has:

  • Front and back entrances
  • Detached garages or shops
  • Guest houses or converted rentals
  • Indoor offices or workshops

4. Customizable for Future Expansion

You can add or remove access levels later if your home layout or needs change.


⚠️ Things to Consider Before Installing

  • If a master key is lost, rekeying the entire system is recommended
  • Not ideal for homes where multiple residents need full access to every room
  • Must be installed and managed by a professional locksmith to ensure proper keying structure
