Master Key System in Great Neck Estates, NY

Price depends on two things: how many doors are in the system and how many levels of access it needs. A simple two-tier setup, building master plus individual unit keys, sits at the lower end of the $195 to $850+ range.

The technician quotes the exact price by phone once they know the door count and the access levels you want, before any visit is scheduled.

• Add a third tier, say a property manager sub-master over several tenant groups, and the complexity and cost climb.
• Tudor, Colonial, and Mediterranean-style homes in the village occasionally need this too, for a homeowner managing a caretaker, cleaning staff, and family access separately.

Call (516) 636-1712 and a dispatcher takes down the job and your number. The nearest available technician calls you back within a few minutes to talk through the property, how many doors need keying, and who needs access to what, then quotes a price.

Only after you approve it does the visit get scheduled. Because Great Neck Estates has no LIRR stop of its own, the technician is driving in from a nearby area, so having your address and any gate or parking instructions ready when you call helps them get there inside the 15 to 30 minute window.

Walk the property first and count every door that needs to be part of the system, exterior and interior, and note which ones should share a master versus stay on their own key. If you already have existing hardware, know the brand or at least whether cylinders are standard pin-tumbler, since that affects what can be re-keyed versus what needs new hardware entirely.

For multi-tenant buildings, have a rough list of who needs which level of access so the technician can propose a hierarchy on the first call instead of a second visit.
