We provide expert support to professional locksmiths across New Zealand and internationally, helping them deliver secure, efficient, and scalable keying solutions.
Our services include:
- Master-keying training – tailored to your team’s skill level and project needs
- Master-keying coding support – expert help with complex keying scenarios
- Data entry – accurate and efficient system data input
- Data conversions – including legacy systems such as Key Mastery (versions 4 and 5) converted to ProMaster Master-Keying 8
We can even design complete Master Key Systems for you. Simply provide the relevant information, and we’ll handle the data entry, code assignment, and system structure—delivered to you ready for key cutting and ordering.
Independent, Confidential, Experienced
Although our team members remain actively engaged in the locksmithing industry, they are no longer affiliated with any individual locksmith business. This independence ensures full confidentiality and impartiality for every client we support.
Why Locksmiths Outsource to OK Advice
There are many reasons professional locksmiths choose to outsource Master Key System design:
- Limited resources: When your team is short-staffed or managing multiple large projects, outsourcing the backend design work allows you to maintain productivity without compromising quality.
- Time efficiency: We help free up your time so your team can stay focused on installations and service work—keeping your cashflow moving and clients happy.
- Complex system requirements: Sometimes clients request elaborate access control setups that push the limits of what mechanical systems can offer. Our experience helps you deliver professional, realistic solutions that meet expectations.
- Client education: We work with you to ensure your clients are well-informed and able to make educated decisions about security versus convenience. This prevents misunderstandings, manages expectations, and strengthens your professional reputation.
