Master Keys are crucial for businesses with an employee hierarchy (big or small). Master Keyed Locks are configured to operate with 2 keys or more, one which is specific to the lock and can't open any other locks in the set, and one Master Key which opens all locks in the set. Contrary to popular belief, in most case scenarios the key itself isn't special, the locks are. Master Keyed Locks use an extra mechanism in order to operate with 2 or more different keys thus Master Keying locks depends on the hardware you have installed. Larger organizations may require a more complex system of keys resulting in a "hierarchical chart" of keys (levels of master keys where the top level may open all locks in the system).
