Everything Locks specializes in services that can be performed without the need to call a local locksmith. This includes residential, commercial, and existing or new restricted keying applications.
Overview
Restricted keying solutions offer extensive control over key duplication and locking hardware distribution. Most commercial door hardware companies offer restricted solutions tailored to their business's needs. For example, Schlage Primus & Everest, BEST Coremax, ASSA Maximum+, Medeco Restricted, and Sargent Restricted.
What Manufacturers Have to Offer
Some manufacturers offer standard key blank designs restricted by contract while others involve additional milling and sidebar features.
Everything Locks's Contract
Everything Locks offers a restricted system involving a standard key blank restricted by contract. Everything Locks is a General Lock dealer. General Lock restricts their high-security system through a contract stating:
Keys are only originated and duplicated for those who purchase into the restricted system by their respective dealer (Everything Locks),
Restricted keys and un-pinned high-security cylinders are NOT to be sold to anyone regardless of their keying situation,
Restricted keys are not to be duplicated or originated unless the system was purchased from Everything Locks,
New or existing high-security cylinders are not to be pinned unless the system was purchased from Everything Locks,
And, restricted keys must be stamped with the dealer's (Everything Locks) serial number for identification.
For additional security, Everything Locks requires an authorization form to be signed and submitted by the company owner, president, or equivalent. This document authorizes restricted hardware ordering to ONLY those listed on the authorization. Authorized individuals can be added anytime at the owner of the system's discretion.
Other Contracts
Some individuals or businesses (end-users) have already acquired restricted locking solutions through other companies. These systems may include Schlage Primus or Everest, BEST Coremax, as well as solutions from other manufacturers like Medeco and Sargent. Some systems are restricted in different ways. Some manufacturers sell the restricted system to manage their own servicing, while others require the system be set up at the manufacturer or through a dealer.
Restricted systems that are sold for end-users to manage their own servicing (or outsource to a local locksmith) have an authorization providing permission to do so. This means that the end-user is restricted by the manufacturer and must agree to their terms and conditions (i.e., not selling or distributing their system, in-house use only). An example would be Schlage Primus or Everest and BEST Coremax.
Restricted systems that are set up by the manufacturer are systems that the end-user buys into and agrees to let the manufacturer or dealer set the system up for them. In Everything Locks's case, we cannot sell our restricted system to the end-user without setting it up (i.e, we cannot sell restricted blank keys or un-pinned high-security cylinders).
