Keyed-Alike Locks: One Key for Every Door
If you carry a different key for the front, back and side doors, keyed-alike locks can simplify your life with a single key.
What keyed-alike means
Keyed-alike means several locks are set up to be opened by the same key. Instead of a separate key for the front door, back door and garage, you carry just one — convenient and easy to manage.
It's popular with homeowners, landlords and small businesses who want to cut down on keys.
Where it helps
Keyed-alike is ideal for homes with multiple external doors, landlords standardising a property, or businesses wanting staff to carry one key. It can be applied to euro cylinders and many mortice locks.
You can also have a 'master key' system where one key opens everything but individual keys only open their own door — useful for larger properties.
How to set it up
A locksmith supplies cylinders or locks pinned to the same key, or re-keys your existing locks to match. It's best planned when changing locks anyway — for example after moving in.
We set up keyed-alike and master key systems for homes and businesses across Catford and SE London — just ask when you call.
