Commercial Locks
A shop key that walked out with a former employee is the classic commercial call. Rekeying the cylinders puts an end to it, and it is often the moment a business sets up a master key plan so the next departure is a matter of one key, not all of them.
Which one do I need?
- The renovation is finished and the contractors have gone, along with the loaner keys they used for six weeks.Commercial Rekeying
- A new hire at the shop gets handed whatever spare key happens to be in the drawer, and it turns out to open the stockroom, the back office and the safe room all at once.Master Key System Design
- You just leased the empty unit next door and want the new tenant to open their own suite without a key to yours, to the loading dock, or to the electrical room down the hall.Access Control Installation
- After the fit-out, the gym floor now holds more people than the old office space ever did, and the exit door at the back still has the same turn-lock it had when the room held desks.Panic & Exit Hardware
- At closing time the hookbolt on the storefront door catches the keeper only on the second or third try, and one employee has started giving the door a shoulder to force it home.Commercial-Grade Lock Replacement

Choosing the window and the order of doors
The last part of the assessment is practical: when can the work happen, and in what order. A retail shop may prefer the hour after closing; a restaurant, the mid-morning lull; a warehouse, the gap between the last outbound truck and the night shift. The locksmith also asks about deliveries, the cleaning crew, the alarm monitoring company and anyone else who holds a key and needs a new one before their next visit.
From this comes a sequence, typically the doors staff use least first and the main entrance last, so there is always a working, lockable way in and out while the cylinders are being changed.
