This unique feature allows you to apportion responsibility for a section of that system to a particular person by giving them a Sub-master Key. A typical example of this would be as follows: KD KD KA MK MK KA Keyed Alike – One key opens all locks within the same grroup KD Keyed Different – One key opens one padlock MK – One key opens all padlocks across several Farm owner has a grand master key.
