Commercial work is priced differently from residential and quoting it over the phone is genuinely hard. Fire-rated doors, panic hardware and door closers carry code requirements, and the work has to satisfy an inspector rather than only the person paying.

A master key system is a design job before it is a hardware job. Getting the hierarchy right — who opens what, and what happens when one key goes missing — is most of the value, and a shop that produces a keying schedule you can read is doing it properly.

Even here the call-out is knowable. The site survey may be free or charged, and it is fair to ask which before booking.

Common questions

Why can nobody quote this over the phone?
Because the answer depends on the doors, and often on what an inspector will accept. A site visit is normal. What is not normal is refusing to say whether that visit is charged.
What is a master key system?
A structure where one key opens many doors while each door also has its own key. Useful for buildings and multi-tenant sites, and it needs planning rather than just hardware.
What happens if a master key is lost?
Potentially a rekey of everything that key opened, which is why the design stage matters and why key records should be kept.
