Pääavainjärjestelmien
Pääavainjärjestelmien, which translates to "master key systems" in English, refers to a method of organizing lock cylinders and keys within a building or complex. In such a system, each individual lock has its own unique key that can only open that specific lock. However, a single "master key" exists that is capable of opening all of the individual locks within the designated system. This allows authorized personnel, such as building managers or maintenance staff, to gain access to any room without needing to carry a multitude of individual keys. The implementation of a master key system requires careful planning and secure management of the master key itself to prevent unauthorized access. These systems are commonly found in office buildings, hotels, apartment complexes, and educational institutions where efficient access control is essential. The design and implementation of a master key system are typically handled by locksmiths or security specialists who can ensure the correct pinning of cylinders and the creation of appropriately coded keys.
