The fire industry relies on a unified key system known as the 003 Fire Services Key System. This system mandates the use of a single key code across a full suite of locksets, including padlocks, cam locks, and cylinders—all configured to the 003 key code.
This unified code allows users to access different cylinders using a single compliant 003 key, thereby ensuring accessibility in emergencies. The 003 code is also known as the AU Fire Key.
The 003 Fire Services Key System (both key and cylinder) is required to meet the minimum performance standards set out in AS 4428.17:2024, titled “Fire detection, warning, control and intercom systems — Control and indicating equipment, Part 17: 003 Key — Fire services key system.”
