1. Rekey All Exterior Locks

You never know who might still have a copy of the previous tenant’s keys. Rekeying is an affordable way to reset control over your building without replacing all the hardware.

2. Install Grade 1 Commercial Locks

Residential-grade locks don’t cut it for business use. We install commercial-grade deadbolts, mortise locks, and door hardware designed to handle heavy daily use and forced entry resistance.

3. Set Up a Master Key System

If you have multiple doors or areas (like offices, storage, or restrooms), a master key system lets you manage access efficiently while limiting entry for staff or vendors.

4. Secure Rear and Employee Entrances

Many break-ins occur through back doors or unmonitored side entrances. We reinforce rear access points with heavy-duty locks, latch guards, and alarmed exit devices.

5. Add Door Closers and Panic Hardware

If you’re open to the public or have staff-only exits, your doors must meet fire safety and ADA compliance requirements. Door closers and panic bars help ensure legal, safe emergency exits.

6. Consider Access Control or Keypad Entry

Smart locks and keypads give you greater control over who enters and when. These systems reduce the need for physical keys and make it easier to manage staff access.

7. Lock Up Sensitive Areas

If you store inventory, customer data, cash, or tools onsite, we can install locks on
Server rooms
Storage closets
Supply cabinets
File drawers
Cash drawers or safes

8. Reinforce Your Front Door

Especially for glass doors or aluminum frames, your main entrance needs strong locks, security film, and reinforced strike plates to prevent prying or break-ins.

9. Plan for Emergency Support

We provide 24/7 emergency locksmith services in case of a lockout, break-in, or failed lock hardware—so you’re never stuck outside your own business.

10. Get a Locksmith You Can Call Long-Term

A trusted commercial locksmith becomes part of your operations. We’re here to help as your needs grow, from adding new doors to upgrading to full access control.
