What if I lost my master key?

Take your existing key and lock to a hardware store (Ace, True Value, Do it Best, etc.), locksmith or other outlet that sells Master Lock products. Ask them to order the product with the same key number that is on your key. Please call ahead, as not every retailer will provide this service.

Is there a master key for all locks?

Any key that can open two or more locks is considered a master key. Many master keys use pin and tumbler locks. For a master key to work, though, there must be something called master wafers inside the lock. When the master wafers line up, the key and lock can turn freely.

Can a master key be duplicated?

Master Key Systems Are Created on Restricted Keyways Restricted keyways are patented, which means that they can't be sold on the open market and can't be copied at a hardware store or commercial location. Instead, master keys can only be copied with your authorization by your key provider.
