Often there is a special "construction keying" used that is disabled after construction is complete; this can involve an extra pin that comes into effect once the regular key is used, or on large projects using interchangeable cores, normally the cores are replaced with the final set after construction is complete. You should always hire a reputable locksmith to do lock work, not simply buy locks at a hardware store and install them yourself. The extra $$ that you pay buys improved workmanship and security.
