Master Key System in Oyster Bay, NY

Cost depends on two things: how many doors need to be keyed into the system and how many levels the hierarchy has. A simple two-tier setup on a handful of doors in a compact Main Street storefront runs toward the lower end of $195-$850+.

A multi-tier system across a larger building, say separate access for staff, department heads, and building management, costs more because each tier requires its own pinning and key cut. Tell the dispatcher the door count and how many access levels you want when you call, and the technician will quote a firm number before starting any work.

Call and a dispatcher takes down the job and your number right away, then the nearest available technician calls you back within a few minutes to talk through the property and quote a price. Once you accept, a visit gets scheduled, with technicians typically reaching Oyster Bay properties in 15 to 30 minutes.

If your building sits along Main Street near the harbor or along South Street (NY Route 106), let the technician know when they call back so they can plan for downtown parking or loading access ahead of time.

Have a door count ready (every door that needs to be part of the system) and a rough idea of the access tiers you want, for example separate keys for tenants, staff, and management. If you're a property manager rather than the owner, have authorization or proof you're allowed to order keying changes for the building.

RC Locksmith Nassau County has been running locally since 2009, and the technician who calls you back is dispatched from nearby, not routed through a national call center reselling the job.
