Master keys and staff changes
A master key system lets the owner open everything while each employee opens only their own areas. When someone leaves without returning a key, the affected cylinders can be rekeyed instead of replacing whole locks. Keep a written key log. It tells you exactly which doors need attention next time.
Keyless entry for small businesses
Keypad locks remove the returned-key problem entirely. Codes can be changed in minutes when staff change, and some models keep an audit trail. They suit back offices, storerooms and shops along Lake Avenue and Lincoln Avenue where several people open up on different days.
Exit doors and fire code
Commercial exit doors often have to open in one motion from the inside. Adding the wrong lock can break that rule. A commercial locksmith works with hardware designed for exit doors, so security goes up without blocking a way out.
What to have ready
- Proof that you own or manage the business
- The number of doors and any existing key system
- Whether work can happen during opening hours
Frequently asked questions
Can you rekey just a few doors?
Yes. Only the cylinders a former key-holder could open need to change.
Do you open locked file cabinets?
Yes. File cabinet lockouts are a common commercial call, including high-security cabinets.
Is there a charge to come out?
The price list shows a fixed $29 service call fee plus labor and parts.
