Apex Locksmith Pros · Same-day service
A master key system is a keying plan where one master key opens every door in a building while each individual key opens only its own door, with optional sub-masters for departments or floors. Apex Locksmith Pros, based in McKinney, designs and installs master key systems for offices, retail centers, medical practices, property managers and warehouses in McKinney and nearby cities in Collin, Denton and Dallas counties. A licensed mobile tech walks your doors, maps who needs access where, and builds a keying schematic you approve before a single pin is cut. Existing Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco and similar pin-tumbler cylinders are usually re-pinned on site, so new hardware is only needed for worn or incompatible locks. You receive labeled keys and a written key schedule, and when a keyholder leaves, only the affected doors need re-pinning. Pricing is quoted per building before any work starts, with no call-out fee.

“Great pricing, quick response, same day service.”
“Igor helped me out great service great communication, great help all around I really appreciated it”
“Huge thanks to the guys at Locksmith in McKinney! ChatGPT actually recommended them to me, and it was a total lifesaver. I lost the key to my rental 2020 GMC Sierra while passing through town. These guys seriously saved the day and saved me from getting hit with a massive fine from the rental company. I really liked that they checked all my docs and the rental paperwork first to make sure everything was legit. The only minor detail was having to wait a bit for Enterprise to approve replacing the key on their car, but that’s totally understandable for security. For comparison, if it wasn’t for them, I would’ve had to pay for a tow to the dealership. The dealer quoted me $1,200 for the key plus towing fees, and the whole process would’ve taken a full day. They saved me a ton of money, time, and stress. Real pros and super nice guys. Highly recommend!”
“Omg! This locksmith service was a breath of fresh air, punctual, gave me a direct price plus any added fees no surprises! The technician was extremely communicative he checked in three times with his ETA before arriving. When he arrived it took him no time to get my son back in his vehicle. I would absolutely recommend and utilize them for future services.”
“Great work and prices.”

“Great price—lower than another local locksmith I called. I only waited a few minutes before he arrived, and he fixed the issue quickly. Professional, honest, and reliable service. I highly recommend this Locksmith”
“I recently lost my keys to my Lincoln Navigator and was locked out in a tough spot. I called Apex Locksmith Pros and they were fantastic from start to finish. They responded incredibly fast, arrived within 30 minutes of my call. The technician was professional, friendly, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. He had my Navigator unlocked safely and efficiently without causing any damage to the vehicle. If you’re ever locked out of your car, these are the guys to call. Quick, reliable, and reasonably priced. Apex Locksmith Pros absolutely saved the day for me, highly recommend! Thank you again!”
“I was locked out, and they arrived much faster than I expected. The locksmith was courteous, skilled, and got me back inside without damaging the lock. Thank you for the excellent service!”
“I had an excellent experience with Apex Locksmith Pros. I needed two new smart keys for my Honda CR-V, and the technician handled everything quickly and professionally. Both keys were cut and programmed on-site, worked perfectly, and the entire process was much faster and more affordable than going to the dealership. The technician arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and used professional equipment to ensure both key fobs worked flawlessly before leaving. The service was honest, efficient, and stress-free.”(excerpt)
“We used Apex Locksmith Pros to replace a commercial lock and a push paddle latch at our business. They did an incredible job-super professional, efficient, and everything works perfectly now. Really happy with the quality of the work!”
“I accidentally washed my Hyundai key fob and got an outrageous estimate from the dealer. Called Apex, and they were very helpful. Apex told me where to get new keys for just $35 each (I ordered two since I had previously lost my spare); and then programmed both keys in under five minutes! It was an amazing experience and a drastically better deal than the dealership. Highly recommend!”

How Does Master Key System Setup Work?
We map your access needs, design the keying hierarchy, then re-pin your locks so one master opens everything and each key opens only its door. The tech does every step on-site, and the flat price is agreed on the phone before anyone is dispatched.
- 1
On-site walkthrough
A tech comes to you, counts your doors, checks your existing hardware, and asks who needs access to which areas. This is where we catch problem doors before they cost you.
- 2
Design the key hierarchy
We build a keying schematic with your master, sub-masters for departments or floors, and individual change keys. You approve who opens what before we cut a single pin.
- 3
Re-pin and hand off
We re-pin or swap your cylinders on site, test every door, then give you labeled keys and a written key schedule for your records.
- 4
Pay the assessed price
You pay the per-building number set after the walkthrough. Down the road, a departing keyholder means re-pinning a few doors, not redoing the system.
Ready when you are. Call and hear the flat price before anyone drives out.

What Do Customers Ask About Master Key Systems?
Straight answers about master key systems in McKinney and nearby cities: what it costs, what to have ready, how the visit works and when we can come out.
Rekeying changes one lock so old keys stop working; master keying adds a second key combination to each cylinder so a single master opens many doors while each door still has its own key. Master keying is the layered version built across a whole building.
It depends on door count, the hardware you already have and how many levels the system needs, so it is quoted per building after a walkthrough. There is no call-out fee, and you approve the price before any cylinder is re-pinned.
Usually yes. Most pin-tumbler commercial cylinders from Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, and Best can be re-pinned to a master system, so you rarely need to buy all-new hardware.
No. We re-pin your existing cylinders on site wherever the hardware supports it, and only recommend new locks for doors with worn or incompatible cylinders.
We can build the system on restricted or patented keyways like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock, where blanks aren't sold at hardware stores and copies require your authorization. That keeps your master key from being duplicated behind your back.
Yes. With a master system we can re-pin only the affected doors and issue new change keys, so your master keeps working without rekeying the entire building.
