7. Actions to Increase Competition: An internet search found that only a master lock system from Best Locks would allow for a “master” key to open those locks. Any additional locks would require separate keys, a separate master key system, and duplicative cost and training. See attached memo for Structure Superintendent at the 502d Civil Engineer Squadron based on the request of the Base Master Locksmith.
