Become a Master at Master Key Systems
Part 2 of the 3-Part Master Keying Series
Most locksmiths learn the basics of master keying and never revisit the subject. But when it comes to schools, hospitals, office complexes, campuses, and other large commercial facilities, basic progression charts only tell part of the story.
Join Wayne Winton (CRL, AFDI, CAI) and 40-year locksmith veteran Jerry Dionisio for an advanced master keying workshop designed to help locksmiths build larger, smarter, and more scalable master key systems.
This class walks through the complete hierarchy of a 2-step master key system—from a single Change Key all the way up to a 6-pin Master Key capable of operating up to 4,096 cylinders. You’ll learn how Group Masters, Column Masters, Page Masters, 4-Page Masters, and 16-Page Masters work together, and how progression positions determine which keys operate which cylinders.
Whether you’re relatively new to master keying or have decades of experience, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of system hierarchy, progression, expansion planning, and advanced techniques that many locksmiths have never been taught.
Why Attend This Webinar?
Large commercial and institutional facilities require master key systems that are organized, scalable, and built for future growth. Poor planning can create dead ends, limit expansion, and make future management difficult. This webinar will help you understand how professional master key systems are structured and how to avoid common design mistakes.
In addition to the training, every attendee will receive a free 30-day trial of Master Key Manager, Jerry Dionisio’s powerful software for designing and managing master key systems. No credit card or payment information is required, giving you the opportunity to apply what you learn immediately after the webinar. Watch the webinar to learn how to redeem this awesome offer!

Why System 70 Matters

For locksmiths working with large institutions, campuses, school districts, hospitals, or property management companies, understanding System 70 can open doors to projects that many competitors simply aren’t equipped to handle.
