Maison pinning a lock?

Want to learn how master keyed systems work? not sure what a Grand Master or a change key are? Want to share a new MK system you came up with? How do different manufacturers pin up their locks? It's 10pm, do you know where your wafers are?

Thank you all for the replies and the information in regards to this.
It seems safer for us to rethink the idea and just use a standard cylinder and hand out keys. We can re-pin the cylinder as needed and hand out replacement keys as needed.
This seems much safer and prevents the master wafers from jamming (which I have seen before).

And use a 'restricted' cylinder to avoid a proliferation of duplicates. If tenants want a replacement or extra key, charge them handsomely for it.
