IC CORE
4 Advantages of our MX13 Restricted Key System in Interchangeable Core format.
Changing locks is a necessary element of operating a business, regardless of the size of your building, and it becomes a bigger issue for multi-site enterprises. Therefore, having efficient key control can reduce costs and save time for you and your company without sacrificing security.
Developing a safe and efficient key control system for your company depends on your security requirements, size, and industry. Nevertheless, there are key control best practices that companies of all sizes and in all industries can use to boost security and save key management expenses. One of them is the use of an interchangeable core system like our MX13 Restricted Key System.
INTRODUCTION
An Interchangeable Core is what, exactly?
Let's start with the fundamentals: an interchangeable core, or IC core, is a cylinder with a figure-eight shape that can be taken out of lock hardware and swapped out for another core to modify your locks. Early in the 20th century, interchangeable key cores were developed to eliminate the trouble of constantly needing to hire a professional locksmith. Instead, authorized staff members within a firm could remove interchangeable cores using a control key.
Due to their ease of management, our MX13 IC cores are particularly common in commercial settings including offices, restaurants, complexes, schools, and condominiums. If the door lock has any problems, it may be quickly re-keyed by removing the old IC core and replacing it with a new one using a control key. Additionally, this helps to save a substantial amount of time and work.
Advantages of our Interchangeable Cores
Overall, compared to conventional locks, an interchangeable core system can reduce the time, difficulty, and expense of rekeying. Our MX13 IC Core system is a cost-effective security enhancement that may be integrated with your current key system.
Reduced Expenses
Implementing our MX13 IC cores in your locks can save you both time and money. While replacing the interchangeable core for a single door is simple, rekeying becomes significantly more difficult and expensive as more locks are affected. If you have 500 locks in your building or across sites and a master key is lost, you could be looking at nearly $20,000 in rekeying costs to secure your key system. That cost is unexpected and prohibitive for many businesses, particularly during times of economic uncertainty.
While switching to a new lock and key system can be costly, the long-term cost savings are significant, especially when there are more access points to manage and secure. With our MX13 IC cores, the cost of rekeying 500 locks is reduced to the cost of Rekeying an IC core, the next set of keys which amounts to about $50 on average based on the particular master system.
