When should I rekey my building?

A building that’s been correctly master keyed should last between 5 to 7 years depending on how well the keys are controlled and the locksmiths’ ability to maintain keying records.

Other signs it’s time to consider rekeying your building are

• Your key cabinet is missing several keys, especially the master key!
• You have a drawer full of keys no one knows what they go to.
• Employees are shown up in unauthorized areas of your building.
• Heavy turnover of employees.
• Missing inventory or office supplies are on the rise.
• Not getting back an employee’s keys when they terminate from the company.
• Your records of who you issue keys to are out of date or missing information.
• Too many master keys have been issued, particularly the master key.
