Commercial Locks
Office managers, franchise owners, property managers and shopkeepers all come through the commercial pages. The work is the same trade as residential locksmithing, but the hardware is heavier, the keying is planned and the paperwork matters more.
Which one do I need?
- You have just signed the lease on a unit the previous tenant ran for a decade.Commercial Rekeying
- A dental office wants the front desk to lock up at night without ever holding a key to the room where patient records and controlled supplies are stored.Master Key System Design
- The keypad on the side door has started sticking on cold mornings, codes get shared instead of reset, and half the staff still remember a code you meant to retire two hires ago.Access Control Installation
- The new access-control reader at the staff entrance works fine going in, but nobody has sorted out the door's exit side, and right now a card reader and a pushbar exist as two separate ideas.Panic & Exit Hardware
- The kitchen delivery door gets shouldered open more than a hundred times a shift, and lately the latch slips past the strike plate instead of catching it on the first push.Commercial-Grade Lock Replacement

Commercial Rekeying
Who is entitled to order the change
Every commercial rekey starts by confirming that the person asking for it has the standing to do so. For a small business that is usually the owner or a director; for a larger one, a facilities manager or property manager acting under written authority. The lease matters here too, because it decides which doors are the tenant's to alter and which remain the landlord's, and many leases ask that the landlord be given a key or told when locks change.
Getting this straight before any cylinder comes out protects the business, its neighbours in the building and the locksmith, and it means the finished keying chart lands in the right hands.
