Which key option should I choose for my Computer Enclosure?
KEYED-ALIKE:
This option provides "same key" convenience and eliminates the need for multiple keys where numerous locks are used. All locks in the set are opened by the same key.
Most Universities and Companies will key Computer Enclosures alike within a department. This aids in key control, as the administrator often retains the keys as one set can open every lock. You receive two keys per kit ordered. When ordering additional kits, you may order them keyed to the same number, if applicable.
MASTER-KEYED: (additional $3.00 per unit ordered)
If you need individual users to have access to their own lock but do not want them to be able to access all locks as in a keyed-alike system, then a Master Keyed System may be the way to go. In a master key system, you receive one "master key" which opens all the locks in the system although each lock also has its own unique key. This allows individual users to have their own keys, while also allowing an authorized person to have supervisory or emergency access to each lock.
When ordering additional units, you can have them keyed to the same master key number. You will receive one Master Key at no charge with your first order. Additional Master keys can be ordered, however, we do suggest limiting the number of people having complete access to your computer systems.
