how do i master key 5 quickest locks but maintain separate key access?

Answer 1

It`s a simple math problem. You have to take on each lock individually. Establish the pin sizes for the control key, then find the difference between that and the master sizes. If you have a Kwik set keying kit this is all explained in the instructions. If you don`t you better call locksmith. GOODLUCK!!!!!

Answer 2

If this is one of those combination locks that come with a simple key that, to set the combo, you have to start with the lock open, insert & turn the key, then you set the new combo, then release the key. These locks all use the same little key to set the combo, so maybe you know somebody else who has one or maybe buy a second lock and use that key. As for the lock you can't open. Probably the key slipped out of position before you got all the little wheels turned to the desired combo, so one or more of the numbers got set higher or lower than what you wanted (depending on which way you were turning the wheels). Usually it will be the last number (or two) that are wrong but you don't know whether it was too high or too low, so try this. Say the number you were trying to set it to was: 2345, and you set the digits in the same order they are written in and the key slipped part way through doing it, the actual number it got set to probably had the 5, or maybe both the 5 & 4, off by a few increments, so, try going higher and lower with the last number: try 2346, 2347, 2348, 2344, 2343, 2342 etc. If that doesn't work set the first 3 numbers to 235 and try 0-9 for the last one, then set it to 233 and try the same thing. etc. You can do a lot of these permutations in 5 or 10 ninutes (Note: don't pull on the shackle until the new combo is set each time). Of course, after going through the last 2 numbers 0-9 and it still doesn't open, you can start changing the 2nd number and so-on but it starts to be taking a long time and you have to decide what your time is worth. If you do get it open, and you somehow acquire another little key, and re-set the combo, it is very important that the key not slip out of position during setting the digits. You could also just take it back to the store and make a "big stink" about it and try to get your money back (or a replacement lock). Added: The lock I had, had 4 little wheels on the bottom of the padlock. I went to the site, I couldn't get the videos to work, The lock shown is obviously a different type than the one I am thinking of. If you put the key in and then, somehow dial in the numbers/letters you want for the combination and the lock is supposed to "remember them" when the key is removed, and the key busted partway through doing this, I'm thinking some of the numbers/letters will be your new one(s) and some may still be from the pre-set combo. The problem is, with that kind of lock, unlike the kind I have seen with the little wheels, you have to re-enter the whole combination for every trial, so it would take a lot longer to try opening it by the method I previously described.

I don't think Quickset locks are fundamentally different from other brands. Any knowledgeable locksmith can do this. All of the keys, except the master will only fit one lock. The master, of course, will fit all of the locks. Be sure and get the pinning list when this is completed so that you can remake keys if necessary and add more locks to the set if you need to.

Answer 4

First off....call a locksmith. You cannot do it yourself. Have him/her key the locks separately....and also to open with the master. Basically ....each individual lock will have its' own key and the master will open all of them.
