I've been a locksmith since 1998. I did automotive residential & commercial work from 1998 to 2008. From 2008 to 2018, I did some residential, but mostly commercial work. I have been project managing & estimating since 2018. I used to locksmith in the Chicago area, now the Austin area.
Oh yes, that is what master key systems are all about. Most office buildings, industrial buildings, etc use those so the higher ups can carry 1 master key, while different depart heads can carry 1 sub-master that gets them in all the doors in their departments, and also have individual keys for offices, storage closets, electrical closets, etc. Its complicated, but that’s what locksmiths get paid to do.

It either has to be digital or mechanical. And if it’s digital, there are plenty of smart locks to choose from. The only thing smart about a mechanical lock is they don’t require batteries. :-)
Share Answer: 
Yes they can.
Share Answer: 
You could get z-wave deadbolts and a z-wave hub to control them. Set it up to where when 1 deadbolt unlocks, it automatically unlocks the other deadbolt.
Otherwise, Mul-T-Lock makes a deadbolt with a remote keypad. You could check to see if it can be set up to control multiple deadbolts.

I’ve never seen the Lockey Pro in person, but I have dealt with a lot of other Lockey products, and they’re low quality. If someone was bypassing it, you would probably know. There would be signs of physical abuse. It’s highly unlikely someone has cloned your fob, but it’s not impossible. I would trust a high quality deadbolt by Medeco or Mul-T-Lock way before I would ever trust a Lockey lock. They are some of the strongest locks on the market, and have pick-resistant pins. Keys can only be duplicated by the locksmith you hire to install it.

Sorry that’s a bit too vague for me to even know what you’re referring to exactly.
Share Answer: 
Not quite sure what you’re trying to describe, but if it’s an old lock, maybe you’re asking for a “skeleton key”? You can buy tryout rings online of some common keys that will bypass the lock. Or call a reputable locksmith and they should be able to provide one.
