Section 5: Keys

5.4 Creating Emergency Keys

Emergency keys are programmed to open any lock on your property, including unit, suite and common

access area locks. They are strictly for you, your local fire department, or other select emergency

personnel.

Note: Not all properties have the option to make Emergency keys. The option to create an Emergency

key is not available on the software installed at those properties.

Note: The maximum number of duplicate keys is 64. After you have made 64 duplicate keys, you must

start over by making a new key for that level.

1. Be sure that the PC is turned on, the electronic key encoder device is plugged in an electrical outlet

and the USB cable between them is properly attached (see Section 2.5 “Installing the Electronic Key

Encoder and Utility Device”).

Note: The utility device need not be in the electronic key encoder to create keys.

2. To create additional Emergency

keys, click on the Keys menu at the

top of the window or the Keys icon.

3. Point to Create, then select

Emergency Key.

4. At the Create Emergency Key PC dialog

box, select the New Key option if this is the

first emergency key you create. Emergency

keys provide 24-hour access to all unit,

suite, and common access locks.

Emergency keys do not have expiration

dates.

5. Click the button to the right of the box. (This

button has a hand pointing to the right.)
