Why Choose 7040MK? Consider A Facility With 30 Secured Locations; Giving Every Employee A Key That Opens All 30 Locks Creates Unnecessary Access. Giving Management A Ring Containing 30 Different Keys Creates A Different Problem. A Master Key System Provides A Better Hierarchy Where Individual Employees Or Departments Receive Operating Keys That Open Only Their Assigned Locks, While An Authorized Supervisor Retains A Master Key That Opens All Locks Within The Designed System.
Q: What Is Better Master Keyed Or Keyed Alike?
A: These Terms Sometimes Get Confused But They Do Solve Different Problems: With Keyed Alike (KA), The Same Standard Operating Key Opens Every Lock In The Keyed-Alike Group; With Master Keyed (MK), Individual Locks Can Have Different Operating Keys While An Additional Master Key (Always Sold Separately) Provides Broader Authorized Access.
Q: Who Should Choose Master Keyed Locks?
A: Master Keyed Locks Such As The 7040MK Make The Most Sense For Organizations Managing Multiple Locks, Locations Or Levels Of Access. Schools, Municipalities, Industrial Facilitates, Commercial Properties, And Maintenance Departments Are Common Examples.
Q: What Does MK Mean?
A: MK Stands For Master Keyed. Individual Locks Can Operate With Their Assigned Operating Keys While An Authorized Master Key Provides Complete System Access.
Q: Does Master Keying Make The 7040MK Weaker?
A: No. The Reason To Choose An MK Lock Is Access Management; The No. 7040 Platform Still Provides Compact Commercial Security But With Tightly Controlled Master Keys.
Q: Are All 7040 Series Locks Available Master Keyed?
A: Yes, In Addition To The Standard 7040MK ProSeries Commercial Padlock, Master Keying Is Also Available In The Nos. 7040MKLF And 7040MKLJ Extended Shackle Versions.
