Brickell Tower Lockout — Suit, No Keys, No Time
A corporate attorney returning from a late flight found herself locked out of her 34th-floor unit. The building's after-hours concierge had clocked out. Her spare key was in her office — also locked. She called Keyway at 2:14 AM.
Our technician arrived in 17 minutes, decoded the Schlage B-series deadbolt without damage, and had the door open in under four minutes. No drilling. No replacement hardware required.
"I was standing in my lobby in heels at 2am. He was calm, professional, and faster than I thought was possible. I had my door open before I finished my water bottle."
40-Unit Coral Gables Building — Master Key System Expired
A property manager inherited a 40-unit residential building in Coral Gables where the original master key system had been compromised — twelve former tenants still had working keys, the grandmaster had been copied without authorization, and three units had incompatible lock cylinders installed by previous maintenance staff.
Over two days, our team re-cored all 40 units with a fresh Medeco M3 restricted key hierarchy: grandmaster, property manager master, and individual tenant keys. Restricted blanks prevent unauthorized duplication. All cylinders logged to a key control ledger.
"Keyway turned a liability into a professional system. We now know exactly who has access to what. The restricted key documentation alone has saved us from two potential disputes already."
Wynwood Hotel — After-Hours Access Control Migration
A 68-room boutique hotel in Wynwood needed to migrate from a legacy magnetic stripe system to RFID before New Year's Eve bookings — their current system had been cloned twice, resulting in two unauthorized room entries. The migration had to happen without disrupting guests already checked in.
Working 11 PM to 6 AM across three nights, our team swapped all 68 door units to VingCard Essence RFID hardware, reprogrammed the front desk encoder, and tested every room before guest check-in resumed each morning. Zero guest disruptions. Zero failed installations.
"They worked through the night without waking a single guest. By New Year's Eve we had a secure, modern system. The cloning problem is gone. I'd trust Keyway with any property I manage."
