The Mechanics of a Cylinder The shear line is where the inner

cylinder ends and the outer cylinder begins. The shear line is created when a key’s cuts align the pins in the cylinder and allow the plug to rotate within the shell.

When a key with the wrong cuts is inserted into the cylinder, the bottom and top pins won’t align and will block the rotation of the plug.

What is a Keyway?

10

A keyway is the hole in the face of a lock which receives and guides a key. There are many different types and shapes of keyways. These keyways can be specific to a manufacturer or even specifically to an end user. There is also the option for security professionals, locksmiths, and end users to have their own keyway for a geographic region.

Master Key Systems

A Master Key System should have a structure like that of a corporate organizational chart.

The less powerful keys at the bottom are called change keys. Each one operates only one lock, or one group of keyed alike locks. The higher up the hierarchy, the more powerful the key.

A 2-level system comprises a master key operating a group of change keys.

A 3-level system is nothing more than two or more 2-level systems tied together under a higher level key called a grand master key.
