Section 5: Keys

5.2 Creating Master Keys

After a lock is programmed, a Construction key will no longer provide lock access. You must create
Master keys to open any programmed lock on your property, including unit, suite and common access
area locks. Master keys are strictly for you and your staff. They are not to be given to residents or even
vendors who need access to a number of areas on your property.
Note: Electronic Construction keys can be re-encoded to create new keys.
Note: Not all properties have the option to make Master keys. The option to create a Master key is not
available on the software installed at those properties.
Note: The maximum number of duplicate keys is 64. After you have made 64 duplicate keys, you must
start over by making a new key for that level.
1. Be sure that the PC is turned on, the electronic key encoder device is plugged in an electrical outlet
and the USB cable between them is properly attached (see Section 2.5 "Installing the Electronic Key
Encoder and Utility Device").
Note: The utility device need not be in the electronic key encoder to create keys.
2. To create additional Master keys,
click on the Keys menu at the top of
the window or the Keys icon.
3. Point to Create, then select Master
Key.
4. At the Create Master Key PC dialog
box, select the New Key option if this
is the first Master key.
