Economic High-Security Key Control

Shay Locksmith – Montreal Locksmith

Looking for an affordable way to improve the security of your doors and control who can duplicate your keys?

The GMS MX-10 is an economical controlled-key system designed for residential, commercial, and multi-unit properties that need better key control without the high cost of many premium high-security systems.

Our GMS MX-10 keyway is #6704.

The GMS MX-10 gives property owners and managers better control over where additional keys are obtained.

Unlike standard keys that can often be duplicated at many hardware stores and key-cutting locations, GMS MX-10 keys are intended to be duplicated through the appropriate locksmith channel.

  • 🏢 Apartment buildings
  • 🏘️ Multi-unit properties

A controlled-key system can help reduce unauthorized key duplication by employees, tenants, former employees, family members, or other keyholders.


💰 GMS MX-10 vs. Medeco – Price Comparison

One of the biggest advantages of GMS MX-10 is its economical price.

For buildings requiring multiple locks and dozens or hundreds of keys, the savings can become substantial.

🔐 GMS MX-10 Locks

Approximately $139.00 each

Our current GMS pricing is approximately $139 per lock for the GMS hardware options we commonly supply, including:

  • Mortise cylinders
  • Rim cylinders
  • KIK cylinders / lever plugs

🔐 Medeco Locks

Approximately $350.00–$450.00 each

Depending on the specific Medeco product required, including:

  • Mortise cylinders
  • Rim cylinders
  • KIK cylinders / lever plugs

🔑 Key Copy Cost

GMS MX-10

Approximately $12.00 per key

Medeco

Approximately $30.00–$40.00 per key

Medeco key pricing can vary depending on the locksmith, specific product, and key-control system.


📊 Example: 10 Locks + 100 Keys

Let’s compare the approximate cost for a building requiring 10 locks and 100 keys.

GMS MX-10

10 locks × $139 = $1,390

100 keys × $12 = $1,200

Estimated total: $2,590


Medeco

10 locks × $350–$450 = $3,500–$4,500

100 keys × $30–$40 = $3,000–$4,000

Estimated total: $6,500–$8,500


💰 Potential Savings

With the example above, the potential difference is approximately:

$3,910–$5,910

And this is only for 10 locks and 100 keys.

If your building requires 20, 50, 100 or more locks and hundreds of keys, the difference can become even more significant.

This is where GMS MX-10 can make a lot of financial sense for property owners and managers.

Examples are based on approximate hardware and key prices. Installation, taxes, door modifications and other services are not included.


🔐 GMS MX-10 vs. Premium High-Security Systems

GMS MX-10 is designed as an economical controlled-key solution.

It provides better control over key duplication while keeping the cost of hardware and additional keys relatively low.

However, it is important to understand that controlled key duplication and maximum mechanical security are not the same thing.

GMS MX-10 does not use the same patented technology or certification structure found in certain premium high-security systems such as Medeco.

Choose GMS MX-10 when you want:

✔️ Controlled key duplication
✔️ Affordable locks
✔️ Affordable replacement keys
✔️ Better control over additional keys
✔️ A practical solution for multi-unit buildings
✔️ Lower costs when many keys are required
✔️ A cost-effective commercial security solution

Consider a premium system when you require:

✔️ Advanced patented key-control technology
✔️ More sophisticated security requirements
✔️ Premium restricted-key systems
✔️ The highest level of key-control protection appropriate for your application

At Shay Locksmith, we can help you choose the system that makes sense for your property, security requirements, and budget.

For building owners and property managers, keeping key duplication with the original locksmith can provide better accountability and help maintain control over who receives additional keys.


⚠️ Important Information About Key Duplication

GMS MX-10 is designed as a controlled-key system.

The keys are generally not available through regular hardware stores or self-service key kiosks and are intended to be duplicated through the appropriate locksmith channel.

However, no mechanical key system should be described as 100% impossible to duplicate or bypass.

Actual key-control policies depend on the specific keyway, supplier, authorized locksmith, and procedures established for the system.

For the best possible control, we recommend that additional keys be obtained through the original locksmith who supplied your GMS system.


🏠 Is GMS MX-10 Right for Your Property?

If you only need one lock, GMS MX-10 is already an economical option.

But if you manage a building with many doors and many tenants or employees, the savings can become substantial.

Imagine replacing 50 locks and supplying 500 keys.

The difference in hardware and key-copying costs between an economical controlled-key system and a premium system can be significant.

GMS MX-10

🔐 Approximately $139 per lock
🔑 Approximately $12 per key

Medeco

🔐 Approximately $350–$450 per lock
🔑 Approximately $30–$40 per key

That’s why we consider GMS MX-10 one of our best economical solutions for buildings and businesses that require controlled key duplication.
