A lock that is not mastered will only work with one key. By adding small pins in the lock cylinder it can be made to use two keys. The second key is a master key. By adding different sizes of these small pins to the cylinders of locks with different keys they can all be made to work with this master key.

How can you get into your trunk of your 1993 Lexus ls 400 without remote or the master key the car is not locked but the trunk lever will not open?
I came across this problem. There is a lock below the steering wheel that will cause the trunk lever to disengage when it is pushed in. Use the master key to turn the lock (located below the steering wheel). It must be the master key. Without the master key you will need to remove the lock (located below the steering wheel). Good luck.
