Projects 03 — Master Key System

Logistics Center Master Key Hierarchy

A 24-hour distribution facility with 120+ openings, three shifts and constant contractor traffic — unified under one key hierarchy.

Overview & Challenge

One Building, Forty Key Rings

Supervisors carried janitor-sized rings, dock doors used different keys per bay, and the key log lived in a supervisor's head. Lost keys meant re-pinning whole zones — during live shifts.

The system had to go in without pausing receiving: night-shift changeovers, bay by bay, with every opening functional by morning roll call.

Approach & Solution

Three Tiers, Zero Downtime
