Interfaced Lock and KeyDescription Simply stated, INTERFACING is a proprietary method of generating a variety of key combinations for barrel locks used on a Utility Company’s distribution system.

Through the use of specially shaped, external mating surfaces between the forward end of the key body, and the receiving end of the barrel lock, Highfield is able to individually design and manufacture a barrel lock and key system for a specific Utility Company.

Prior to the ability of a manufacturer to provide interfaced barrel locks, “specially keyed” barrel locks were developed by redesigning the internal components of the barrel lock, resulting in costly system-wide change outs of locks and keys.

INTERFACING from Highfield now provides a Utility Company with the following capabilities and advantages:

Benefits/Advantagesu Selection of a unique key combination per individual Utility.

Protected territories assigned by the factory and all keys are serial numbered for internal control.

u Protection against unauthorized use of a neighboring Utility Company’s keys to open locks on your system even if the neighboring Utility also employs a Highfield interfaced lock and key system!

u Method of upgrading the level of security in a Utility Company’s barrel locks via a single change out of keys – not locks, while maintaining the operational advantage of a “one-key” system.

u Method of providing meter keying.u Method of planning for future generations of locks and keys,

should the system become compromised or obsolete, while still maintaining a “one-key” system.
