A master key system with restricted keys means copies can't be cut at a hardware counter, and a key log tells you who has what. When someone leaves on bad terms, rekeying the affected cylinders is usually quicker and cheaper than replacing hardware.
Keypad and card locks let you change codes or cancel a card instead of chasing a key. They suit stock rooms, server closets and staff-only areas. Read more in keyless entry locks for businesses.
