Project details
Doors / lock locations
Help & guidance
Add each door or lock location once, then add one or more lock specifications underneath it. Use Quantity for identical locks with the same format, finish and size; add another lock specification when the format, finish, size or fitting details differ. The planner shows only the sizing fields that apply to each selected format. Final dimensions and compatibility must be confirmed before a final specification is agreed.
Add each location once. Door / area is required and is used by the diagram and access/location totals. Add multiple lock specifications inside a location when one door or opening has different locks or different sizes.
For larger sites, Building, Floor / zone and Department / area are optional ways to organise locations. New locations reuse the previous row's grouping so you can add several doors quickly, and you can change any value at any time.
For a Master Key proposal, access is assigned to the door / lock location. All keyed locks listed under that location therefore share the proposed access assignments. Add a separate location only when the opening needs different access permissions.
Keys and access groups
Help & guidance
Use familiar role names. R Locksmiths LTD can translate the proposal into the final change key, sub master, master or grand master architecture and confirm the final system design if you request a quote.
Access matrix
Help & guidance
Tick the locations each key group should be able to open. Final keying feasibility and manufacturer compatibility must be confirmed by R Locksmiths LTD before any products are ordered or supplied.
Important planning checks
Important guidance
- This planner is for planning and quote enquiries only; completing or submitting it does not place an order or authorise products to be supplied.
- A master key opens only the cylinders deliberately included in that system; it is not a universal key.
- Complex systems may use change keys, sub master keys, master keys and grand master levels. Final hierarchy and key symbols depend on the selected manufacturer platform.
- A door / lock location can contain several lock specifications. Every keyed lock under that location is treated as having the same proposed access assignments; use a separate location only when the opening needs different permissions.
- Restricted or patent protected key systems can improve control over unauthorised duplication and should be discussed for managed or higher security premises.
- Cylinder format, size, fire/escape requirements and security rating must be confirmed for each door before a final specification is agreed.
