Not sure how they do key control, but my guess is they will all think they need the top level master key.

So, the understanding of what a master key system was not there. Most members had 2 SC1 keys (even former members kept them), the "master" and the "other" key...both keys opened everything except the padlocks (AM3 keyway). Best I've been able to see taking multiple cores apart, every lock was keyed for only a single change key. I have not been able to find anyone that actually ever had the change key, but the current key system was put in 15-20 years ago. So basically, everyone was issued either the grand master or sub master key (or both) and everyone could get into anything with either key. Part of the issue on working to define and explain a new, functional system was that they wanted to restrict some people to some things during some part of the year. They also wanted multiple master key systems based on individuals and for those master keys systems to fall under a single grand master key...a grand master key that was given to everyone on the council, but was seasonal on access. Real the struggle is. So let's say the system had the grand master key, 4 sub master keys (A, B, C, and D), with each sub master having 2-6 change keys. Most of the year, they want Joe's single sub master key to work on A, B, and C, but during fair week, for his single sub master key to flip and only work at C and D. Now take this and repeat for 12-20 people with individual "unicorn" keys.

@@JenkinsLocks So they need an electronic system that can set/change schedules (expensive) or a locksmith on call that can rekey locks on short notice. And definitely key control with restricted keys. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is gonna be a pain in the (fill in the blank)…
