Restricted Keyway Security Architecture

In commercial master key systems, physical security is compromised if change keys can be duplicated at retail key-cutting kiosks.

Owner Registration Card Protocol

  1. Patented Keyway Profiles: Key blanks feature patented lateral undercut grooves not sold to commercial retail hardware stores.
  2. Encrypted Security Cards: Each cylinder set is supplied with a credit-card-sized Security Ownership Card containing an encrypted factory bitting code.
  3. Authorization Workflow: Duplicate keys can only be cut at authorized factory CNC centers upon physical presentation and digital verification of the security card.

Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions

Q1: How do security registration cards stop unauthorized key copying?

Replacement keys can only be ordered from authorized factory centers by presenting the physical security ownership card with the encrypted bitting code.
