Other aspects of the LOCKSHOP module are listed and linked in the column to the left.

The BATCH GENERATION is a very powerful and robust portion of KeyNET.  With it you can generate COMPLETE masterkey systems with great speed and accuracy.  This feature UTILIZES the best Standards, Practices and Technology to produce KeyNET masterkey systems.

You have control of how you create masterkey systems.  You can create complete Standard 2 Step Masterkey Systems from this screen:

Click on the KeyNET link in the main menu bar, and then on the MK Create link in the sub-menu bar to get to this screen.

Blind Code - Simply select the IDENTIFICATION for your NEW 2 Step Masterkey System.

Bitting - Select the bitting for your NEW masterkey system.   KeyNET^TM will generate 5, 6 and 7 pin systems.  ONLY COMPLETE SYSTEMS are generated.  For smaller systems we recommend using the Custom Masterkey Generation.

Progression Sequence - You select can use the default sequence, or change it to suit your desires and needs.

Matrix - KeyNET^TM will automatically fill the matrix, based on the Bitting you have entered for your NEW masterkey system.

Keyway - Enter the keyway for your NEW masterkey system.  If you are using sidebar identifiers...that sidebar identifier should be used as your keyway.

Brand - enter the Manufacturer of the LOCKING CYLINDER.

Lock Type - this information is selected from a drop down menu which has been customized by your Systems Administrator.  If you do not see the option you desire, contact your Systems Administrator  and have it added.

Cut Code - This is the three digit code required by your Computerized Key Machine to initiate the proper depth and spacing cuts for the prescribed key.

Jaw/Insert - The Jaw/Insert is information provided in conjunction with the Cut Code to insure the proper depth is obtained when cutting your key.

Maximum Adjacent Cut - Most Manufacturers have established a MAC for use with their products.  This MAC assumes that you are using their prescribed cutter, spacing and depths.  MAC can be altered in custom applications, but is typically set by the lock manufacturer.

Treat Zero As - When developing a masterkey system, zero can be treated as a ZERO or as a TEN.  KeyNET^TM allows you to choose this options so that your masterkey system can be developed properly, and the codes developed will cut to your Computerized Key Machine.  NOTE: Sargent is one manufacturer who uses a zero as a ten.

Stack - Enter the Stack Height of your Lock Manufacturer.  Many lock manufactures have a defined STACK height for pin chambers to improve operational efficiency and reduce the damage to the springs.

To Prepare to Generate - Now that you have entered the information, you are ready to "Verify" the information you have entered.  KeyNET^TM will now perform a number of checks to reduce the possibility of errors in your information.  If ERRORS are found...you will receive a warning, which will cause you to return to the setup and make corrections, before proceeding.

If the information you have entered meets the benchmark of KeyNET^TM for this type of system...you will see a screen that allows you to verify your work and "Generate" you NEW Custom Masterkey System.
