Master key systems aren't the nightmare everyone claims, in my experience. Figuring out the shear line issue during a hotel's emergency lockout changed my entire approach, but your mileage may vary.

Master keys always frustrated me until a similar emergency lockout revealed the shear line trick.

Did a tension wrench work for you like it did for me?

Yeah, but getting the tension right is everything.

Disagree, that shear line trick is more trouble than it's worth. Spent an hour fiddling with it and still called a locksmith. Master keys might be annoying, but they don't leave you stranded.
