Educational campuses are frequently large, multi-facility environments with [lots of doors, locks, and keys](https://info.instakey.com/resources/video/streamlined-key-management/master-key-system-efficiency/making-key-control-simple-for-the-education-marketplace). When a Master key goes missing in one of these environments, the unscheduled time and cost required to restore security are an unwelcome surprise for Campus Administrators. In the event of a lost Master key, all of the locks and keys in the system must be changed. And depending on the size of the system, a single lost Master key can cost an educational campus thousands.

InstaKey makes this process simple and affordable! Utilizing [rekeyable lock cylinders](https://info.instakey.com/resources/video/streamlined-key-management/master-key-system-efficiency/master-key-system-rekey-demo) that can be reset in seconds with just the turn of a key, the InstaKey Key Control Program provides Educational campuses a meaningful return on investment by significantly reducing the labor and material costs associated with a lost Master key. With InstaKey, if a Master key is lost or stolen, each of the locks within the system can be rekeyed in seconds at the Master level only, without requiring new or re-pinned cylinders, or for the operating level keys to be replaced. With a Key Control Program from InstaKey, only the Master keys are changed, allowing an Educational campus to reestablish security quickly, and at [a fraction of the cost](https://info.instakey.com/resources/infographics/key-system-cost-reduction/helping-out-the-maintenance-department/rekeying-large-facilities-infographic) in comparison to standard key systems.
