A master-key discussion should begin with an access-permission matrix. Put doors on one axis and authorized roles on the other, then mark the access each role actually needs. The matrix describes policy; a locksmith must still assess the hardware and suitable system.
Resolve permissions before equipment
Separate everyday staff, managers, contractors and emergency contacts. Identify doors controlled by a landlord or building operator. Do not assume your business can authorize changes to every opening it uses.
Review broad access requests carefully. Giving one role access to many doors has an operational purpose that should be explicit, rather than inherited from an old key arrangement.
Add administration requirements
Name the person who authorizes copies and maintains the issue register. Ask how lost keys, staff departures and future doors will be handled in the proposed system. Keep detailed access information private.
The resulting matrix helps compare a proposal against the required permissions. It should not contain key cuts or be treated as an approved installation drawing.
Review commercial locksmith services and contact The Locksmith Team with the matrix and authorized property contact before selecting hardware.
