Frequently Asked Questions

What does keyed alike mean?

Keyed alike is a system where every padlock in your set is manufactured with identical internal pins, so one key opens all of them. There is no master key hierarchy involved; it is a matched set built that way from the outset.

Are keyed-alike padlocks secure?

Keyed alike padlocks are just as secure as their standard counterparts; same body, same shackle, same resistance to attack. The one thing to manage is key control. If a key is lost or copied, all locks in the set are affected, so opting for restricted keys is worth considering for higher-risk applications.

Is there a limit on how many padlocks I can have on one key?

There is no limit. We can match any quantity to a single key, including large commercial orders. Call us free on 0800 542 1264 to discuss your requirements.

How do keyed-alike padlocks differ from master keyed padlocks?

Keyed alike and master keyed are two different systems. Keyed alike means every lock in the set uses a copy of one identical key with no hierarchy. A master-keyed padlock gives each lock its own individual key, plus a separate master key that opens all, making this a better fit for sites where individuals need private access but a manager needs an override.
