The keying type—keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed—determines how access is managed across multiple locks. Keyed alike systems offer convenience by using one key for several locks, while keyed different enhances security by ensuring each lock has a unique key. Master keying combines both, enabling individual keys and a master key that opens all locks. The Timberline lock plugs, like CompX Timberline LP-700-100TA (keyed alike and master keyed) and CompX Timberline LP100KD-121 & UP (keyed different and master keyed), provide flexibility for various security and convenience needs. With options for all keying types, you can tailor your system for maximum efficiency and control.
