Master Lock K81KM1710CM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Master Lock K81KM1710CM key work on any Master Lock padlock, or only the 1710MK?
Only the 1710MK. The K81KM1710CM is a factory-cut master key made as a direct replacement service part for Master Lock 1710MK locks, and its cuts are matched to that lock's master key system. It will not operate other Master Lock padlock series.
2) Does the K81KM1710CM come cut, or do I need a locksmith to cut it?
It arrives cut. The key is pre-cut at the factory to the 1710MK specification, so no on-site cutting, code machine, or duplication work is needed before it goes into service.
3) Is this a master key or an individual change key for a 1710MK padlock?
This is the master key. It sits at the top of the hierarchy and opens the compatible 1710MK-series padlocks in that master key system, rather than a single lock like a change key would. Facilities running keyed-alike or master keyed padlock programs use it as the one key that covers multiple access points.
4) I manage a building with 1710MK padlocks and the site master key went missing. Is this the right replacement?
Yes, provided your padlocks are 1710MK. The K81KM1710CM is the genuine Master Lock service part for that lock, cut to OEM master key specification, so it drops straight into an existing 1710MK master key program without rekeying the padlocks. If the padlocks on your gates or lockers are a different Master Lock model, this key is not the one.
5) Can I use a key blank like the Kaba Ilco CH1C instead of the Master Lock K81KM1710CM?
No. The K81KM1710CM is a factory-cut master key, pre-cut to the exact specifications for the Master Lock 1710MK padlock, so it works straight out of the package with no on-site cutting. The Kaba Ilco CH1C is a key blank for the Arrow 1C keyway in nickel silver construction, which means it is uncut brass stock that a locksmith must originate or duplicate onto, and it is cut for an Arrow keyway rather than the Master Lock 1710MK. A blank is the right choice when you have a key machine and a code or an existing key to copy; the K81KM1710CM is the right choice when you want a ready-to-use master key for a 1710MK system.
6) What is the difference between the Master Lock K81KM1710CM and the BEST 1A3A2KS531KS681 operating key?
Both are supplied already cut rather than as blank stock, so neither needs to go on a key machine before use. The difference is the system each one belongs to and the level it operates at. The K81KM1710CM is cut as a master key for Master Lock 1710MK padlocks, giving authorized access across compatible 1710MK padlocks in a master key hierarchy. The BEST 1A3A2KS531KS681 is an operating key for a BEST green core in the A keyway, which is a change-level key for a BEST interchangeable core rather than a padlock master key. If your hardware is BEST small format interchangeable core, the BEST cut key is the family to stay in; if your padlocks are 1710MK, the K81KM1710CM is the matching service part.
7) What is the difference between ordering a cut key like this and ordering a key blank?
A cut key is finished and ready to use. The K81KM1710CM comes cut to the 1710MK master key code, so it works the moment it arrives. A blank, such as the BEST 1AF Series patented key blank or the Kaba Ilco CH1C blank for the Arrow 1C keyway, has no bitting at all and has to be cut on a machine to your code before it will turn anything. Blanks make sense if you have a locksmith and the code on file; a factory-cut key does not need either.
8) Can I use a BEST cut key instead of the Master Lock K81KM1710CM?
No. Cut keys are code and keyway specific. The BEST 1A3A2KS531KS681 is an operating key for a BEST green core in the A keyway, a different keyway and a different lock platform entirely. For a Master Lock 1710MK padlock you need the Master Lock cut key made for it.
9) We want keys that cannot be copied at a hardware store. Is the Master Lock K81KM1710CM the right choice, or is there something more restricted?
The K81KM1710CM is a genuine Master Lock service part cut for 1710MK padlocks in commercial master key systems, and its value is exact OEM compatibility with that padlock rather than patent protection on the blank. If key control against unauthorized duplication is the driver, the BEST 1AF Series Preferred Patented Blank Key is the part built for that purpose, since it is a patented blank rather than an open-market blank. Note that the BEST 1AF ships as a blank that still has to be cut to your system, and it belongs to BEST cylinders, not to Master Lock 1710MK padlocks, so it is an alternative only if you are changing the hardware as well as the key.
10) I need extra keys for a padlock program but the locks are not 1710MK. What should I order instead of the K81KM1710CM?
The K81KM1710CM is cut specifically to the Master Lock 1710MK, so it will not operate other cylinders. For other hardware, match the key to the keyway you actually have: the Kaba Ilco CH1C is a nickel silver blank for the Arrow 1C keyway and the BEST 1AF is a patented blank in the BEST family, both of which are uncut and need to be cut to your bitting. If you are working in a BEST A keyway and want a key that arrives already cut, the BEST 1A3A2KS531KS681 operating key for a green core covers that. Identify the keyway stamped on your existing key first, then pick the blank or cut key in that family.
11) Is the K81KM1710CM meant for commercial use or homeowner use?
It is a commercial-grade service part, intended for facilities where controlled access and key system management matter: offices, schools, warehouses, healthcare, government buildings and multi-tenant properties running 1710MK padlocks. Nothing stops a homeowner using it, but it only has a purpose if you already own 1710MK locks.
12) How many K81KM1710CM keys do I need for a site with 1710MK padlocks on multiple doors?
One master key opens all the compatible 1710MK-series padlocks in the system, so the count is driven by how many authorized holders you have, not how many padlocks. Most facilities keep one per supervisor plus a spare in the key cabinet.
