What are the differences between keyed-alike, keyed-different and master-key systems for furniture locks?

1. Keyed-alike: One single key can open all selected locks. Ideal for lockers and multi-door cabinets where users manage many locks with only one key.

2. Keyed-different: Every lock comes with its own unique key; keys cannot open other locks. Suitable for private drawers or separate storage units where independent access is required.

3. Master-key system: Each lock has its own user key for daily use. A separate master key can open all locks in the group. This is widely used in offices, schools, and rental properties for facility management.

How do I choose the right furniture lock for my application?

Consider these five factors:

1. Panel thickness measure the door/drawer panel; the lock housing length must match it.

2. Door type swing door, sliding door, or drawer; each requires a different lock mechanism.

3. Security levelmedium (keyed, anti-pry) or high (combination/electronic).

4. Usage frequency high-traffic cabinets (offices, schools) need wear-resistant, all-metal internals.

5. Keying requirement do you need keyed-alike, keyed-different, or master-key systems?
