The longer the patent on a key or lock design the better, as you maintain control over the security of your premises. Our Locksmiths can design master keys systems to cylinder operated locks, padlocks, cam and cabinet locks, mortice locks or any combination of these locks.Īll master key systems are patented for a maximum period of up to 20 years before the patent and the key restriction runs out thus allowing the system to be legally copied.
