Q: If we order a number of locks, I understand there will be one Master Key opening all of them?

A: Yes, via our custom process, you can request one master code across various types of keyed locks.

Q: In case we need to purchase additional locks, will the same Master key work for those as well, if we provide Kensington the product number and the Master key code?

A: Yes. We support reorder via our Custom Locking process for all your current and future orders. Please contact us here and we’d be happy to support you. https://www.kensington.com/resources/custom-lock-solutions/

Q: Is there a maximum number of locks we can use with the same Master key?

A: No. When you order, we can assign your account a single master code that can be used across all the locks you order via our custom process.

Q: If we reach the maximum number of locks a master key can open, do we start a new series with a separate Master key?

A: No need to start over with a new master key as mentioned above.

Q: Is the master key only capable of opening the locks of a given set of locks (e.g.: is a person owning a Master form another batch able to open the keys from our batch?)

A: Different master codes are used to prevent this issue.
