There are some cases, when the institution has its own institutional locksmith, or chooses to maintain their master key system by themselves, which is when they can ask the locksmith to actually add the development of the master key system to the invoice.  This is a risky venture for those who do not have an experienced locksmith to maintain their master key system, because generally the locksmith who created and handed over the master key system to the client may refuse to take responsibility for the safety and security of the building in case of a breach occurring following unauthorized tampering with the master key system.

Many of them are not so interested in creating extravagant websites which can often cost too much money.
