Frequently Asked Questions
What is a master-keyed padlock?
A master-keyed padlock opens with its own individual key but also accepts a separate master key that opens every lock in the same system; two levels of access are built into one lock.
Are master-keyed padlocks suitable for self-storage companies?
Master-keyed padlocks are ideal for self-storage. Each container has its own tenant key for private access, while the operator holds a single master key for the entire site, available on standard, restricted and patented key options.
Are master-keyed padlocks available on restricted or patented keys?
Restricted and patented options are stocked at Locks Direct. Restricted keys limit duplication without authorisation. Patented keys go further, meaning no copy can be made without your written permission, giving you complete control.
Can I add more padlocks to my master-key system later?
In most cases, expanding your system is straightforward. Contact us before ordering, and we will match any new locks to your existing master-key profile. Call 0800 542 1264 for advice.
Is there a guide to master-key systems?
Our Keying Services Hub and master-keyed container padlocks guide covers how these systems work and which option suits your setup in plain English.
