At Allegion, they help keep people safe and secure where they live, work and visit, and with more than 27 brands sold in almost 130 countries across the globe, they specialise in security around the doorway and beyond: everything from residential and commercial locks, door closer and exit devices, steel doors and frames to access control and workforce productivity systems.

 

This is why their core strength in mechanical security, when combined with digital, mobile and interconnected electronic solutions, and their expertise in style and design, make them a leader in their markets.

 

A Residential Construction Keying (RCK) system involves a single key, replicated to be used by tradesmen for all homes during the construction phase. Building companies will be supplied 25 keys free (additional keys by negotiation), which can be reused on future houses/apartments. Each building company receives a personalised RCK system, so that no two building companies have the same keys.

 

When the new homeowner takes over the house, they are presented with their own keys, which when used automatically, reset the lock cylinder, making the RCK inoperable and providing the homeowner with their own unique combination.
 

Similarly, Master Keying is a method of controlling access through a building. A key schedule is prepared from provided floor plans, and includes a key tracking system which locates keys and locks and keeps a secure procedure on what keying has been undertaken. Security is based on a system where one lock has its own key, which will not operate any other locks in the system. However, where all locks are in the same system the locks can be operated by the one
master key.
