Section 5: Keys

5.1 Creating Additional Construction Keys

The locks must be carefully programmed so that the correct keys open them. Until all of your locks are

programmed, you and your staff – along with any vendors, such as construction workers and painters –

will need an alternate method for gaining access into common access areas, suites and units. During this

time, you will need Construction keys.

Construction keys can ONLY be used on locks that have not yet been programmed – whether unit, suite

or common access locks. As soon as a lock is programmed, a Construction key will no longer open it.

While construction on your property is still in progress, Construction keys can be used as Master keys for

you and your staff to gain access into areas where locks have already been installed. These keys can

also be given to any vendors who need access to certain areas in order to complete their work on your

property.

Your SAM RF System came with a certain number of preprogrammed construction keys. If you do not

have a sufficient number of construction keys, you may opt to create more.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you limit the number of Construction keys for your property.

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 Key Encoder

and Utility Device”).

2. To create additional Construction

keys, click on the Keys menu at the

top of the window or the Keys icon.

3. Point to Create, then select

Construction Key.
